On Bluesky at least, you can remove all Bluesky created feeds, create your own feed algo's, and create specific user list feeds. You can also define mute words so that posts with those words never appear for you. Those mute words can also have a time window, in case some common word is temporarily annoying you.

I believe that you could create the experience which you described on Bluesky. This may also be possible elsewhere, I just happen to know about Bluesky.

It's largely how I use the platform. On most days, I am blissfully unaware of what "the discourse" is that day. I personally enjoy human curated lists of devs and scientists.
