Or you could stick your head in the ground and pretend it all away. Wow this tool is enabling folks to live in a "happy bubble".

This is the most absurd and illogical thing. This will put a veil on people and make them more ignorant about the world.

Just in time taking into consideration the madness going all around, especially in Siria with all those chemical attacks and dead children.

While idea of seeing just positive might seem absurd to most, the idea of having more control on what I see is something I appreciate. I have actually tried a couple of such chrome extensions last year to hide Game of Thrones spoilers (it's important, you know!). I gave it a try and here's a quick feedback: I felt it made my feed slower. I enabled 'Politics' but I could still see links that were talking about political news. Will spend some more time using other filters.

Does it turn off politics?

@stevenjacobs_ It does! There is a politics filter you can enable. There are a few keyword packs I've included in addition to the original logic.

You need some sad moments to recognize the happy ones. You can't have light without some shadows.

@silvanocerza I believe we should optimize for the happy ones.

@silvanocerza @tomthought Actually social media is already happy-moments-biased - people mostly share their happy and fun moments. In fact i think that a lot of people might actually get depressed by their feeds being too fun, too happy because it creates the impression that "those people on social media" have a much more fun life compared to their own, setting unrealistic expectations. While the real truth is, that only the best moments are shared, which creates a distorted image of the life of people. (just giving some thoughts here, i totally get, that the reverse (people getting depressed by depressing news) might be true as well)

@danielschlossfr To be honest: my feeds are more covered with sad and depressing news than happy stories from my friends. Maybe it's just my friends though...😅
