Would it be possible, or even desirable, to post a single thread to multiple communities? I was just looking back on the idea by /u/AgreeableLandscape for privacy violation tracking and ended up in the /c/privacy version, which was dead, instead of the /c/libre_community version with a decent number of comments. I am not saying I think it should be a certain way, just throwing spaghetti at the wall.

    Well, I had envisioned it as posting to multiple communities simultaneously, instead of the current model of posting and then using the cross-post option. Thus it would always have been a single instance with a history that was shared out to multiple communities.

    I too had considered the idea that different communities may respond to posts differently. I thought it might be up to the posting individual or if mods could remove their community from the post.

    I appreciate you taking enough time entertaining the idea to form a response.
