I do think, though, that Community posts should not be banished from the Frontpage altogether. From the newcomer perspective, I think there’s value to having some threads on the Frontpage that are more accessible to a broad and/or less experienced audience. Moreover, if someone is visiting for the first time soon after something like the Bostrom statement or FTX situation, there is a decent chance they are specifically looking for that content and may be confused if it is more difficult to find.
There may, however, be some subset of community topics that should stay off the Frontpage.
Thanks for these flags about the newcomer experience, both. I agree that these are important considerations.
[Writing just for myself, not my employer or even my team. I am working on the Forum, and that’s probably hard to separate from my views on this topic— but this is a quickly-written comment, not something that I feedback on from the rest of the team, etc.]
