But yeah, idk I'd still rather have people engage with me bc they want to talk to me specifically or bc they are interested in the specific topic of a post I made than randomly see a post because they are interested in an interest of mine (that I don't post about). Mostly, as I said, it would change how I used Interests in light of that new function.
Honestly I think the big thing we are feeling is the death of communities, where you could meet new people based on an interest + there was some off topic posting. But reviving that is a losing battle, so I don't think that's a viable solution either.
If you want something that works for you right now, I believe you can view other people's reading pages and public filters? So making a filter like anarchy or something would create an equivalent. You would just have to subscribe to all the people you wanted to include.
