I am like cursorily interested in "non-mainline" schools and branches in case they've got something interesting to say, but for me nothing aside from the Huineng-style "instant enlightenment" really even makes sense. How groups engage with those ideas and how they may disagree can be interesting to me, but basically only from the standpoint of... "will they demonstrate that what I THINK makes sense actually doesn't?" but so far I haven't found such an argument or standpoint to be convincing.

D.T. Suzuki's Zen Doctrine of No Mind is all about the distinction between Huineng's teachings and the what is known as the Northern School.

I actually am not too personally interested in the "debate" because the next like 700 years of what everyone agrees is "zen" all seems to teach the same thing that Huineng taught.

I mostly agree, but I can also envision a situation in which you don't want the people that you're doing recognizance on covering up their illicit activities because they're listening to the police radio. A good compromise would be to record the encrypted traffic and make it public some arbitrary but fair length of time after the fact.

On Reddit, it depends on the subreddit. Some of them I don't care about usernames at all, but on smaller or more specialty/niche subreddits there actually can be a "community" of people who learn about each other

I imagine it can be similar here
