       @Jeff I agree with this idea in principal. "custom news" essentially means "create an echo chamber for me of things you want me to care about and slant it so I feel the way you want about it"On the other hand, I understand the temptation. The internet is just a fire hose of data these days so picking through it manually is a chore.

       @Skypilot We will be addressing this with http://civiq.social.We created this fork so that we can create a federated social platform that local and affinity news publishers can run and put the local news gardenhose back into social.
