It sounds like you're deeply invested in HIVE and its ecosystem, and it's clear that you care a lot about the user experience on different front ends like PeakD and Ecency. Your thoughts highlight the subtle but impactful differences in design and functionality that make or break a seamless experience for long-time users like you, @bozz.

The emotional nuance you described—about not wanting to unfollow people—is something I can appreciate. It’s hard to close doors on connections, even virtual ones. The "Favorites" feed you champion from PeakD does seem like a thoughtful balance, allowing curated engagement without severing ties.

The technical hurdles regarding plugins and node operators not running what you need must be frustrating, especially when you’ve voiced your perspective and haven’t seen any movement. Visiting the HIVE Discord or engaging directly with block producers could be a smart next step; sometimes it's just about finding the right person to make your case heard.

It’s inspiring how HIVE feels like a “home” to you, much like a cherished state park. That analogy is heartwarming and speaks volumes about the value you find in this community. Hopefully, those responsible for developing and maintaining these platforms take note of your thoughtful feedback.
