The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don't click the red bar!

But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

What's the benefit of this whitelist only model vs a blacklist model? Wouldn't this just promote people to build their own custom echo chambers? I sort by Hot on All and only blacklist truly troublesome users. My reasoning is that I'll see more viewpoints and expand my horizon.

I am not suggesting people have to use "Subscribed" exclusively, or at all, just that the onboarding can bloat people's subscriptions in a way some people dislike if they click too many topics to follow.
