The solution to this problem is AdBlock. Everything that AdBlock needs to be the success that it is today is exactly what we need for social platforms as well. Both for moderation(filters), and for the 'algorithm'(sorting).
Want to keep the default list? Good, just do nothing and you will see what Twitter wants you to see. Want to see unfiltered? Just turn the blocking off. Want to add a filter just for yourself? Easy. Upstream that filter such that it eventually becomes the default? Go for it. Have different filters to cater to different cultures? We've got the different lists for you to subscribe to.
They should be made so that you can algorithmically pick whatever subset you want. If you just want Parlor content, go for it. If you want everything except Parlor content, just flip that flag.
Something literally illegal? That gets deleted and removed from everything.
