Or rather, the absence of one.
I guess in a way you're showcasing where algorithmic sorting/grouping, when not used just to promote ads and increase profitability, can have a positive impact. Because they could for example be used to temporarily suppress exactly what you mean, and require a community to stay "active" for longer than a brief flare-up to start spreading wider and wider.
That being said, I find the lack of such stuff refreshing. You after all select whether you want to see "All" content, and even the sort mechanism.
