    Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.

    Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):

    IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.

      If you’re proposing that front end devs literally provide an optional field for those with the time and motivation to curate their feed programmatically with some kind of query language, that’s god damn brilliant, and would persuade me to use an otherwise feature–lacking but decently polished client over any other.
