Hypothetically speaking, what if I don't want to ingest those feeds all by myself? What if I would like to acquire the evaluation of the posts by those who have already read them? Facebook has votes on micro-content but doesn't publish those votes. Reddit and HN publish votes but the community only votes on already popular content. Does a place exist where votes are collected on all published content? Micro-blogs on their own don't scale and don't have synergies. There must be some approaches to improve the situation.

Those who? Scoring on feeds is present in few feed reader (like Emacs/Gnus who integrate them with emails and news), dbacl is simple enough to have personal anti-spam. Votes on proprietary platform are not from other people, at least they might be partially or even totally but you can't know. You simply choose to trust a third party for fairness, without the ability to verify witch in infosec is called a threat. Not only: targeted content is produced thanks to click analysis have had a very bad social result, they completely cut out good educative contents from all publications simply producers follow people desires because now they know them very well and we see an explosion in junk contents (see YT, TikTok etc) and a substantial end of quality publications, witch on scale made people isolated and uninformed at all, since anyone try to find a niche of people who read and think in the same way not seeing any external ideas. Such model have had on scale a simple result: tearing apart our society.

  Automatic scoring doesn't help with selecting the interesting content. The answer to manipulated scores shouldn't be no scoring, but better scoring. Where is the interest in a public scoring/voting infrastructure that highlights good content? At least RSS readers, search engines and bookmarking services should need it, but I am not aware of any initiative.

    And isn't the better scoring those made locally by yourself? I suggest for ML https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974 https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974 or the fact you can't even trust a public model, since you can't really control it regularly in training terms. You are right saying there is not much scoring in RSS, beside Gnus I know zero other feed readers who do anything alike. In search engines terms, beside YaCy witch is distributed and not so good, I do not know anything else, about bookmarking there are countless "managers" but I doubt they can be useful: in scoring terms, for discovering, we need the classic Usenet and sharing. It can be done, so far no one AFAIK have done that, but in practical terms nothing is still better than modern corporate systems anyway...
