Sort by new and pick your favorite community. If you are fed up with the particular news it probably doesn’t matter anyway.

Actually do downvote posts if you would have preferred not to read that and it isn’t of note.

I.e. downvote the 3rd post about the same tragedy when nothing has changed and not much time has passed. Downvote negativity. A neutral vote is for things that are mid and don’t matter.

Most of them.
