I don't want to read me-too spam. I want, however, to be able to utilize the information about people who consistently rate content in similar way as me, assuming they are cool with sharing that information. The platform, not me should keep track of all of it, and offer me different facets or views into activities of other members of the cluster. At the moment, this not implemented anywhere. You can have a poor man's version of it by subrscribing to select subreddits, and unsubscribing from the main ones. There is no way to tune out unwanted users, other than by relying that moderators are doing thier job. > can't really hold that strong an opinion.
