Highly recommend this, wish the UI was more discoverable. For people who want this themselves: you can change how posts are weighted for you by clicking “customize feed” to right of “front page”. You’ll be shown some default tags, and can also add more. If you hover over a tag you can set it to hidden, reduced (posts with tag treated as having 50% less karma), promoted (+25 karma), or a custom amount.
It occurs to me I don’t know how tags stack on a given post, maybe staff can clarify?
All of the additive modifiers that apply (eg +25 karma, for each tag the post has) are added together and applied first, then all of the multiplicative modifiers (ie the “reduced” option) are multiplied together and applied, then time decay (which is multiplicative) is applied last. The function name is filterSettingsToParams.

.I think @jimrandomh is most likely to know.
