Thanks a lot for your input here Sarah! These are all good points, some of which were not obvious to me as a user, for sure.
I’d be curious what would happen if you would run some tiny experiment on breaking the unified space, and I don’t think structural siloing necessarily would correlate with epistemic siloing (even though I get that many posts do not fit single categories and that it would be a difficult meta-question around what categories would be appropriate).
To me, a unified space can create the feeling of having a discussion with lots of people, which I find more difficult than if there is a smaller discussion group.
