This is a post about „visibility“ as the name of (and approach toward) a type of primary community goal. While in the drafting stages, I had considered naming this post something more simple, like „on visibility“ — but it occurred to me that a potential reader just might think this was simply yet another post on „why visibility is important,“ and it is not. This post is not pro-visibility. This is a post inviting the reader to consider the potential for visibility to become a trap.
