Content control features (and is there a feature roadmap?)

I read the blog, announcement, the first message in my inbox, the mechanics, and I think that's it - but do you mean something else by documentation? I will certain read what's available, although it won't help in this case as you've answered my question - and thank you for the reply!

I like the vision for Tildes, and the desire for high-quality intelligent discourse.
For me the most valuable capability is being able to control - to some degree - what I see, or more accurately, what I spend my time reading or scrolling past.
I just read a thread discussing placement of the comment box being at the bottom of the page. And I won't lie it concerns me, because there was a post saying it was intentional and that the intent was to "encourage the user to read the posts and perhaps reply to one instead of posting a new top comment" (oops that should NOT be a quote, I am paraphrasing]. My personal view, for what it's worth, is that if it's not a gross violation of the rules, or just plain invalid data, that core functionality shouldn't be used to "encourage" users to behave the way the owner desires. I pointed out that there are a lot of reasons why reading every post isn't appropriate or necessary. But the underlying intent being hinted at certainly concerns me.

Being forced to accept content and waste more time dealing with either chaff or even just stuff I'm not interested in.... is why I spend very little time on social sites, and after just two months, have already signed off Reddit (as RES filterReddit is not working and doesn't appear to be a priority).
Not a big loss to the community LOL but having to work at finding something that interests me just isn't my thing.

I would certainly welcome the opportunity to share my ideas with the Tildes devs at some point if this bubbles up near the top. I do have some ideas in mind, although I'm not sure they are in-line with the vision of the site. I shall continue lurking with enthusiasm and watching the site evolve!
