@BeAware yeah, but that goes back to my other comment to your original post above about our needing much better tools to manage our feeds.

Until we get better tools we're left with these really clumsy ones that block lots of good with the bad, or filter based on hashtags, all of which--yep!--puts our experiences in the hands of others.

This is the problem with a platform that doesn't put much value on empowering end users, which is an attitude I've consistently seen from developers here.

It always ends up putting experiences in the hands of others.
