The problem I have with the hiding strategy is that nobody in my network of friends and family is producing 100% signal and nobody is producing 100% noise. If I hide all users that ever produce noise I end up with an empty feed. I need a better way of cutting through the noise - preferably an algorithm that does it for me.

The other problem I have is that I don't feel comfortable posting all of my thoughts to all of my friends and family. I could create lists but that really is a pain.
