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.
@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...😅
