but it could be useful to have something like per user ranking adjustments based on tags, so that people could more configure/personalize their experience.
Just to be clear, this does indeed exist. You can give a penalty or boost to any tag on your frontpage, and so shift the content in the direction of topics you are most interested in.
It currently gives fixed-size karma bonuses or penalties. I think we should likely change it to be multipliers instead, but either should get the basic job done.
I can see the logic of multipliers, but in the edge case of posts with zero or negative karma they do weird stuff. If you set big mulitpliers for 5 topics, and there is a −1 karma post that ticks every single one of those topics, then you will never see it. But you of all people are the one who should see that post, which the addition achieves.
I would expect that if someone wants to only see AI alignment post (a wish someone mentioned) saying +1000 karma would provide that result but also mess up the sorting as the karma differences become less.
A modifier of 100x should allow a user to actually only see one tag.
What? How? I’ve found like 3 different “customize” options, and none of them are this.
Side note: I’ve noticed that web & app developers these days try to make settings “intuitive” instead of just putting them all in one place, which I think is silly. Just put all settings under settings. Why on Earth are there multiple “customize” options?
I only visit the site every month or so and I use All Posts grouped by Weekly to “catch up”. It looks like that particular page does not have support for this kind of tag-specific penalty. :/

LOL that is exactly what I wanted! Thanks :)

(Not significant really though.)
You could just not have the multipliers apply to negative karma posts.

Nevermind. Another comments explained it. I would greatly appreciate that option also being put under settings! I would have found it much easier.
Putting it under settings does sound reasonable.
