We tried that once and it failed, because the median random submission is so much lower-quality than the rest of the frontpage. People reacted much as they would to finding kitchen compost in their breakfast cereal.

I definitely think this is a good idea for a new social platform, though. Probably the key is setting expectations correctly.
I do wonder if a new post quarantine box on the front page, marked as such, would do better than just mixing them in.
Maybe this could be an option to enable in profile settings?
