It does sound reasonable to prioritize subscribed users when counting upvotes, to reflect the interests of that particular community.

But I don't think that will stop people from bringing up any news involving Twitter. The submission and initial momentum likely happens within the community itself.

That would be cool, never thought about that. Straight up not allowing voting from All/when you're not subbed could also be interesting as an experiment. But yeah, here plenty of people are just interested in Twitter news.

are just interested in Twitter news.

From the way I'm interpreting that... shouldn't that demand for 'just twitter news' lead to a new community for that specifically? Like if it's really that interesting to enough people, wouldn't that be the better outcome?
