Maybe this will be controversial but I think it's a good idea. It's algorithmic, but you still pick what you want. Content algorithms are not intrinsically evil so long as you have decent visibility and control over their parameters.

The algorithms aren't intrinsically evil if they're not used to drive you toward topics and isolate you from other topics while simultaneously harvesting your data...

I like like open source algorithms that can selected, from many choices, by the user. Try a few and find something that sort of fits. Can turn it off.

Anything else is unacceptable
