At work. Just one more thing to add regarding ignoring posts by tag on users you follow: it does have some technical baggage. If a very large of users had a very large number of ignored tags that needed to cross-referenced for every post in their feed, it could actually create a pretty significant demand. Of course, there are ways to deal with this, but all baggage brings more baggage. Ideally, posts should be served without too much overhead (individual requirements for seeing a post ideally have a light data demand). IMO the best way to think about it is: What questions does Hubski need to answer before I see this post? and how much digging is required to answer those questions? Those types of considerations always come into play. They aren't the primary factor in my decision here (they don't need to be yet), but I always have to think about that end too.
