I’d prefer that people on the Forum not have to worry too much about norms of this kind. If you see a post or comment you think is good, upvote it. If you’re worried that you and others at your org have unequal exposure to coworkers’ content, make a concerted effort to read other Forum posts as well, or even share those posts within your organization.
That said, if you want to set a norm for yourself or suggest one for others, I have no problem with that — I just don’t see the Forum adopting something officially. Part of the problem is that people often have friends or housemates at other orgs, share an alma mater or cause area with a poster. etc. — there are many ways to be biased by personal connections, and I want to push us toward reading and supporting more things rather than trying to limit the extent to which people express excitement out of concern for these biases.
