Blogging with Org-mode for lazy people

Nothing beats the speed of Hugo and content creation in Org mode.
Those micro-blogging tools make it easy for the writer, but at least for me, the content is not easy to follow. It's Facebook vs Myspace to the extreme: every blog has a different interface with few social network features.
If I follow 1000 micro-bloggers, on busy days, how can I skip the less interesting posts without having to look at them?
Maybe some day...
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.
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.
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.
I suggest for ML 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...
To follow many sites we have RSS since decades, witch is the basic personal aggregator + many other things third party aggregators simply can't do (like personal automation from release feeds, banking automation if your bank offer feeds automation (witch happen to be very rare, unfortunately), security vulnerability advisor automation etc.
If you use social you use them as a feed replacement and that's a very poor one.
More seriously, it really doesn’t matter what you’re using to write on a blog. It’s the content that matter.
Support outside of emacs is limited, so when you don't get any of your fancy TODO features or inline code, etc, you may as well just use Markdown from the get go.
