I totally agree, that it's a good thing not to see 100% of posts from either HN or FB

But the updates that you miss are also some which have a lot of likes/shares/comments on FB. That's what we do, we don't dig out crap posts, but only those posts that outrank others.

So we have found out that you also miss those high ranked posts, almost as much as 50%
