It was a problem on day 1. Admins should have waited months to make comms, with everything going on "main".
the_dunk_tank and electoralism were reasonable to add early for containment purposes. Makes sense to have a a couple of trans/LGBT and empoc groups as well.
Everything else should have been created organically by the userbase saying "this type of post is clogging the feed, let's spin off a comm for it". Instead we have this....
