You can mute the territories you don't like.

Im aware, But the fact there is now different territories definitely invites to lot more spam and less interaction.

You're probably right, but you can mute territories you don't like. That's what I do, and it's effective. If you want to mimic SN from the "old days", mute everything but the bitcoin territory.

Rather than making territories opt-out (ie mute) perhaps we should make them opt-in (ie join) and by default it's just ~bitcoin.

The only problem with that is that new stackers who may have been attracted to SN for a specific territory might get confused when they first log in.

Maybe a different landing page could help?

You could probably partially solve that with a ref link that uses a cookie to automatically-and-semi-permanently opt into its creators territory if you click it
Wouldn't work if they come back on a different device without logging in or clicking the link, expecting to see that territory again because "it was there last time"
Maybe the expectation could be assisted by explicitly asking them: "do you want to see this territory next time you visit?" If they click yes, prompt them to log in or create an account

This is a great idea and it will force newbies to discover the contents they are looking for!
In the other side, I like the fact that everyone here is forced to filter the noise to get the signal is looking for.. it requires more effort that just opt-in

im not sure one or other is better. simply because of the fact the posts are lot more disperse, the interaction changed. Not saying this is bad.. Just changed to a lesser closeknit community
