It is as theoretic as the idea that people have been waiting to discuss blog 
posts on discuss.kde.org instead of general purpose sites they already have 
accounts for other things in their lifes. Not that many people circle just 
aronud "KDE".

And actually not that theoretic concern, see below.

Well...
* blog posts had not been covered on forums.kde.org(?), so nothing to compare
* discuss.kde.org is intended to replace kreddit? so expectations transferred?
* "it's not a big ask to expect KDE devs to visit Discuss at times"
  in the very email that triggered my initial reply :)

To summarize:
please have that as an opt-in to invite people to discuss blog posts on 
discuss.kde.org.
