Just had [some feedback](https://se23.life/t/moving-threads-losing-sight/10897?u=chrisbeach) from a user confused (and annoyed) when I inadvertently moved their topic to a category they didn’t have access to  
(modding performed on mobile UI)

This happens occasionally with categories like the Lounge and can be hard to spot if the OP will lose visibility of their topic.

It would be great if Discourse could present a warning (on both desktop and mobile) if a category change will affect the OPs visibility on the topic.
