I'd even go one step further saying than most people care about gnome
and gnome apps, and not about one's cats and the other's culinar
niceties.

There are too many posts everyday on gnome, as highlighted by a few
persons in this thread. I don't think limiting access would be of any
help, but maybe it's time to (somewhat) focus the editorial line or our
planet, for instance by only showing posts tagged "gnome" by their
writers.

As an alternative, we could even have two planets: one about gnome, and
one about peoples. 

Because despite Gnome is people, I think that for most people, Planet
Gnome is primarily about Gnome.
