I don't know - reading extrapenguin's idea again, it might not be ideal, since the first and main complaint from like, everyone (even I'm gonna do this at some point) likely will be, "Whoops, I just input private tags into the global tag box, I know I can blank out the tag and re-save the post to erase that but this private tag's already out there for the moment so what do I do now/how do I avoid this in the future", etc.
Other than that it's still a very interesting idea. I really want us to have (ideally #hashtags, because they've grown on me over the years despite not using Twitter to post my own thoughts since something like 2012!) a way to have global tags to attract readerships we don't or won't have otherwise.
The arguments for it are there.
Just looking at public posts on my own blog I can see where I'll get (and often, before posting, I *know* I'll get) at best anemic responses from my Circle where if the tags on those posts were globally available, I might get more positive responses (obviously from people I don't know or only know in passing, since after 100 10 years on DW I know a lot of people only in passing) and might even make more acquaintances to follow and be followed by, and that's mainly what I'm after: agreement on topics I'm passionate about and something in common with others to maybe sort of build off of, and global tags (or more easily discoverable ones, at the least) would be the best shortcut to that outcome I can think of.
We already have an excellent system in place in how DW sorts private vs. public tags so that even a tag in use on both public and private posts gets sorted correctly so private posts don't show up under the publicly available version of that tag, and it just impresses the heck out of me so much, so it looks to be the best system to build an expanded tag function off of that any more privacy-minded site like this one could have, and I just want to to rah-rah it to death but don't have many concrete ideas to lay down for it beyond that, at the moment.
(There's a whole other wishlist of mine and one of the things on it that relates to this is how I want to be able to sort private vs. public tags for use as a personal search feature, ie: "Only show me my own public uses of this tag, or only show me my own private uses of that one" but if I recall correctly it's a bit much to implement so might never make out of the thicket of ideas posted to DW Suggestions.)
