He found a bad excuse to take use off

That's not it. It's a matter of domination by numbers. If every other post is from one large sub then it's dominating the front page.

I also hate it when people are lazy and only post in /s/conspiracy or /s/politics when their posts can easily fit in more specific topical subs.

Perhaps removing those subs from /s/All may be in order too, thus forcing folks to be more selective about where they post.

Of course a master list or few about categorized sub topics would be handy and worth promoting.

Numbers.... These number games. Are you exhilarated by getting numbers ?

What is the point here ? You got two types of users:

  • Most users are only reading and reading "main" subs which has its implications by itself

  • "Hardcore"-users having "conversations" in not so mainstream-subs

So who do you wanna hurt by implementing something here ?

Nope. I'm interested in getting good info from many viewpoints and sources.

If /s/All is dominated by a sub or few then that's not as many as it could be.

Most users are only reading and reading "main" subs which has its implications by itself

"Hardcore"-users having "conversations" in not so mainstream-subs

I'm not sure if by "main" you mean the default subs you get when you sign up, with whatever new subscriptions anyone bothers to make. Or do you mean the /s/All subs?

What implications do you mean? I haven't thought much on this.

So who do you wanna hurt by implementing something here ?

I don't wish to hurt anyone, nor implement anything.

For one thing this is our community but not my site.

Thus far I've stated that I agree with the extant policy of keeping very popular subs off /s/All. I also recognize that not only would DAR be better if they extended beyond their bubble to post in other subs, but I think that the /s/All folks are missing out by not having interactions with the limited subs (not on /s/All) and private subs (for whatever reason).

Further, I've been talking with folks about it to see if we can find better solutions, both here on SaidIt and wherever else we branch out to, together or not.

You're seeking demons where there aren't any.
