I voted for Filtered: User Profile Updates, User Blog Posts and its comments.

The point I understand from these three different anons (or same? if same, I hope didn't vote multiple times in the poll) is that the HOME PAGE takes a long time to load and they are forced to read a lot of "spam" comments. I understand the "forced to read" part because any text that I see instictively gets processed by my brain. The slow to load is when using a slow/mobile connection, or internet from a third-world country.

What I don't understand is the need to represent "every casual person". Or the mention of "navigate into all the coments" because as far as I can tell, information is in the ARTICLES and not in the HOME PAGE ACTIVITY FEED.

Now as for the comments themselves, there are spam images and a lot of complaining, saying devs suck or new art sucks or event rewards suck or RNG sucks or PvP sucks or LSC sucks or Kongou sucks and complaints about every other thing in the game. But that is different discussion, this is about the Activity Feed. You can say that the Activity Feed encourages this behavior, and while I agree with that, filtering article comments would also discourage things like commenting that a page has errors on it and the wiki doesn't have enough editors who actively patrol pages to catch things like that.

There is mention of Recent Updates being a substitute for the Activity Page. Total Filter will only make it interesting to wiki editors and not the people visiting for information so I'm confused why that was voted instead of the "Remove it" option.
