What if there were no default? You had to go through a setup process to assign the visibility settings you want. That way, there's no possibility of bias because everyone would be required to set their own settings.

Yeah, that would be perfect. It'd be disruptive to force everyone to pick. And, I'm sure there'd be some demagoging about which options there are & how they're presented. But, I haven't heard any other suggestions that don't lead to further conflict.

Ultimately, I hope there can be a solution to this that let's everyone see the content they want and engage in the public square without censorship.
