~policy as a community

We can all recognize there's always going to be a certain amount of confusion on where to post certain items, due to unavoidable overlap between groups. I think at this point we should only add more groups if it will cut down on said ambiguity, but I figure adding ~policy would probably do the opposite. I think we already have more groups in general than we really sustain though, so I might be biased.

I think ~society should already cover law and... Well, policies, right? To quote its description:

Politics, law, policies, and similar societal-level subjects

So adding a ~policy with the scope you mention would probably just have society filled mostly with politics.

Personally I'd like it if we could tag a topic to be in multiple groups, since I've submitted quite a few that could fit in multiple places.

IDK. Sounds a little subjective and perhaps too specific. But anything can happen if there's emoji enough content.

The desire to silo anything that touches US politics for reasons I understand but don't always agree with, means that most things will get shunted to ~society regardless.

I feel like I have to justify in a post why it shouldn't go to society every time, and it's still not certain, because it's actually a health topic but politicians are mentioned, for example.

I really enjoy tildes and believe that different communities are important. This seems like most of it could fit in government?

I’m interested in communities focused on topics like government, food recipes, self-help or how-to guides, tech support, or anything else that’s helpful and reasonable.

I don’t think it is bad to have too many communities. With the understanding that some won’t be used as often.
