StackOverflow does some pretty clever things like using JavaScript to dim or hilight questions on the front page based on the user's Ignored or Interested tags, instead of generating a unique set of front page items HTML for every user.

This might be clever for them but I hate seeing these dimmed items, dimmed != ignored.

  True for me as well even here on HN; I go out of my way to read downvoted comments when they're barely legible by highlighting them.

  They're dimmed because they have a tag that is in the user's list of "ignored tags" - not because of downvotes.

That can be overlayed via AJAX after the page loads.
