This, and it also helps curb tribalism, if we are all trapped in the same thread we are forced to, if not like each other, at least tolerate one another. Having separate threads where ecochambers can prosper is a perfect way to create drive-bys, factional strife, resentment and falseflagging bullshit. The proctor couldn't punish anyone from one side without looking like he's playing favourites.
We would just become another /vt/ but without the anonymity, and since this site is mostly PC and Hololive centered, you would end with a ton of people in those threads antagonizing everyone else, and the hololive thread would probably just become a de-facto "general thread" anyways.
The purpose of the general thread is more of a news feed with everything mixed in, a slice of everything interesting happening in the community that someone has cared enough about to post. These specialized threads are for documentation and discussion, the information here is meant to build a sort of profile for anyone wanting to learn about the subject; it fulfills a completely different purpose. I do think that threads for major drama spectacles/events would be a good idea, but that is up to the users of the site to work on and maintain, we also haven't had any BIG drama spectacles lately.
