Yes, please.
I want the facility to censor. I want and need to exercise it all the time.
I start with the headline, taking one full second of my time and attention. Not interested? Skip it (censored). I'll never know what lied (lay) within. So be it.
Content? I might load one or two of the first 30 pages pointed to by /active, but I'll rollover first, and my personal censor will often reject loading of certain sites, based solely on their URLs.
Comments, finally... active pages get the most comments, and there's a lot to learn here, so it's often worth the effort and the time to segregate the wheat from the chaff, the signal from the noise. This requires the usual selective reading: the first sentence of the first paragraph determines whether the rest of the graph will be consumed, parsed into a gist, or skip the rest. Only slow down for recognized experts (or inherent/exhibited expertise). Build a quick TL;DR as you scan, backtrack if you find a nugget. Panning for gold!
Not censorship based on 'a tribal mentality' but a pure self-interest in not wasting the limited time I have at my disposal. Wanting knowledge and insight and perspective, not willing to slog through regurgitated shittalking.

Exactly.
