Per the discussion in these two posts:

As mod on that (gossip) comm I agree. To be honest, I also think it's unnecessary to have two separate dunking comms based on whether someone is a public figure or a random person. A lot of times that distinction can be quite blurry, and I don't blame people for choosing to post in Slop instead, as that is the more active comm.

Reunite El Chisme and Slop to a single comm, and remove slop's rule #8. "Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip"

Do the admins have data on how many (active?) users are subbed only to the public figure one and not the other?

But how much is just overlap? Surely all 515 aren’t part of the 707.
