If the linked content is not your own, then that tag would be unaffiliated. In that case, it would be fairly evident that the comment is your own. I view it more as a way to self disclose affiliation, eg. A person who links their own blog, and tags it accordingly, then thats cool.
Re: bias, yeah, you are right. Scratch that.
The political tag I was thinking about were more for posts which start to meander into solutions or policy direction/advocacy, or if submissions start dominating the latest popular political narratives...which is maybe premature, but I expect things to go that way.
I'm trying to think about how to get in front of ptoblems observed in other forums. The optionality is different at inception, than once something has matured. A fun experiment, imho.
I'm torn on the "Politics" declaration.
On one hand, we can use it to safeguard against straw-manning, if we're using it to understand what people are actually arguing for and why.
On the other hand, I worry that it stacks the deck and detracts from the merits of an argument, by making people aware of the tribal affiliation.
