Events in Daily?

I’m in the process of refactoring how we handle the default posts view. The core goal was to implement some anti-spam features into it. But it highlighted some oddness in how we’re currently filtering things. I wanted to check how this might effect people on GreaterWrong, and people who use the Daily page. tldr: would you feel better or worse if Events showed up in the daily feed? (for reference, there seems to be roughly one event listing per two days) (And, for people implementing LW readers, would it be a problem if events and meta posts appeared in the default post view?) Technical details: Currently our default view filters out meta posts, event posts, and posts associated with a particular community group. But, almost all the actual views we use on lesswrong.com don’t really need that default filtering:

Only a tiny minority of events are relevant to me. So I prefer they are not included.

I bookmark /​daily and pretty rarely look at home, almost never any other view. I don’t much care about events, but I also don’t care about many topics that get posts, so it doesn’t bother me much if I need to ignore a few more entries.

I primarily use /​daily so I had no idea about events. Maybe if it was an option to show them in the daily view? I think I probably wouldn’t mind seeing them because I could just skip them so long as they are clearly labeled.

Yeah, this was part of the reason I thought including them by default might be a good idea.
