The guidelines above are primarily about what kind of content we will delete, not about the exact ways we are going to list the content on the frontpage.
This is a Personal Blog post, which the guide states “Are not displayed by default on the homepage”, unlike Frontpage posts which “Are displayed by default to all users”. Therefore, unlisting my post does not affect the homepage, but it does prevent it from showing up on my user profile.
I would never delete a post like this, and have indeed not done so!

My best guess is that it will get somewhat more visibility in the long-run as a result of being on the Said post
I very much doubt it will get more visibility in the long-run. Also, since I am not the author of the comment on the Said post, I will not be notified of replies to it.
Feel free to start a shortform somewhere with discussion about me moving this
I plan to do this within the next couple of days. We can continue the discussion there.

Personal blogposts show up both in recent discussion, and of course get included in the homepage feed of everyone who has enabled seeing personal blogposts. The naming here is kind of terrible, so I am pretty sympathetic to the confusion, but personal blogposts get a pretty substantial amount of frontpage/homepage traffic.
I very much doubt it will get more visibility in the long-run.
If we can find an operationalization, I would take a bet. I expect that Said post to get traffic for many years.
