Everything is muted by default

default_categories_regular site setting

Out of the box, Discourse shows all categories to all users (with respect for category security settings). Some sites prefer the opposite - don’t show categories to users unless they’ve opted in. To make it easier for admins using the mute all categories by default site setting, they can add categories to the new default_categories_regular setting so they’re visible to users by default.

This new setting will let us choose a set of categories to be visible by default.

As we proceed with talkgroup audit (2020) we can determine per talkgroup which are visible at all times.
