Hehe. I don't think there's many alternatives... Every hype will flood public discourse. That's the nature of it (and the reason why we call something a hype, in the first place). You can mitigate a bit for this with subscribing and unsubscribing to communities. But trends will reach even the remote corners of the internet. And unsubscribing from daily news does a bit of that as well. The less social-media aspects a platform has and the more focused it is, the less random hypes we'll get... But I'm afraid this place is modeled more with social media in mind. And the userbase reflects what's going on in society. So we'll get these things in most mainstream communities.
