Is it like a psychological thing to get users to use default subs more often?
It depends. I personally see it more like a way to look/focus at the posts that don't have the border.
That feature could be inverted and used to only highlight non-default subs.
It's interesting either way. Just reminds me of all the comments I've gotten from new users b/c I "doxxed their downvote" and how that's "not cool" b/c they never bothered to read the site FAQ etc lol. I could see this becoming a recurring question posted by new users. Who knows though, maybe they'll just figure it out as it's pretty obvious.
If we make it permanent, we'll update the welcome/userguide page.
