On Usenet, you can moderate your own incoming messages. Assuming you have a suitable newsreader (I know of none that are not suitable for use with killfiles).

Opt-In self moderation is great. You can even do that here on HN with add-ons like uBlock.

Filters would be fantastic. I would love very much to be able to filter out specific words and phrases from my HN view.
