Why do we even have comms if not to be able to make some posts less visible, and is this something that we want? I think all comms should be subscribed by default and to unsubscribe should have a good reason.
I too was miffed when I posted what thought was a great article into c/canada and received no feedback on it, one single upbear and no comments.
If all coms were in everyone's feed then we would not need to merge anything, and if someone really didn't want that topic it could be unsubscribed.
But we're not reddit - and we don't want people isolated or marginalized in little groups, we also want exposure for issues surrounding those groups - but we also want people to use comms. The only way I can see to merge these two things is to have all comms subscribed to all people by default. That is, make them opt outs
rather than opt in.
Then comms are for sorting posts, and avoiding certain topics if you really don't want to be exposed to it, but not for marginalizing groups.
Or maybe I'm wrong about the goals of the site and the purpose of comms.
