I'd really like to see a personalized feed next to "new" and "top" feeds. Personalized in a sense that if I've upvoted Joe and Joe upvoted a post about foobar, I want that foobar in my feed. Same for downvoting. This feed should be exempt from flagging, unless the flag came from someone I've upvoted. The "top" feed is still needed for discovery of new interesting stuff.

Because the Balkanisation of newsfeeds in the rest of the world has proved such a success

What's the alternative? Squeezing millions of HN readers into the top 30 posts? Not only it's too little room for everyone worth seeing to be seen, it's also a statistical certainty that a sufficiently large crowd will have 5-10 censors who will block any discussion they don't like.

Maybe teaching millions of HN readers not to be too lazy to click past the first page?

That shouldn't be too much to ask of a community premised on intellectual curiosity.
