I would greatly appreciate a “global mute” feature, to block out depressing/sad articles everywhere, such as ones concerning killings, war, rape etc.
Even a simpler feature than the standard NewsBlur intelligence such as hide all articles with specific keywords (“killed”, e.g.) in their title would suffice, provided this “global mute” overrides everything else from the intelligence. In a way, it’s like the recent “mute” feature for specific feeds.
