Sift (https://sift.quest/) is working hard on doing exactly that. We don't have enough users to actually show it off yet, but at our core we're building around a user reputation/relevance graph that we think will let people curate streams like that.

In our model, as soon as anyone you trust in our graph says "this is a 101 type post/comment" we can realize you are not interested in seeing it and de prioritize it in your feeds/comments while still showing it to other newbies or to people who have expressed an interest in engaging with that kind of topic.

Is trust per person or per person per topic?

Sorry it took me a few days to see this. Right now we have trust per person, and a separate "preference" by topic. Our end goal is to do trust per person per topic.
