Billinghurst added a comment. @nemo_bis Nowhere did I say that it was not requested, nor unwanted, however, it becomes all or nothing per community, and in our history we have provided things called user preferences to allow users to configure what they see.
Thousands have opted in, and thousands (more?!?) have not. I am only asking that it continue to be optional per user and the comment is "arguably little gain" and I don't see that as an appropriate response, terse and unsupported by commentary to justify. Preferences may or may not be "bad" is a vague and weak argument for not exploring the option or stating how or why they should not take place. The process about communities getting notified, and the defaults, and what happens needs to be fixed, as this regularly comes up, and that belongs in a bug of its own. While it is unresolved, it continues to be a bugbear and a point of weakness/inflammation/conflagration. The language was not meant to be aggressive, use of second person rather than more generic. Apologies if it seemed that way.
