It could be argued that seeing which proposals a user follows is a good
indicator of which proposals a user has supported, since we're
automatically creating follows for supported proposals since commit
74fbde09f. So now, we're extending the `public_interests` funcionality,
so it only shows elements users are following if they've enabled it.
This is an improvement over using the `public_activity` attribute in two
ways:
* The `public_interests` attribute is disabled by default, so by default
other users won't be able to see what a user is following
* Who has created proposals/debates/investments/comments is public
information, while who is following which elements is not; so enabling
`public_activity` shouldn't imply potentially private information should
be displayed as well
We've considered removing the `public_interests` attribute completely
and just hiding the "following" page for everyone except its owner, but
keeping it provides more compatibility with existing installations.
We had similar conditions many times and some duplication, particularly
between the code getting records and the code counting records. We can
remove it by returning a generic scope and calling the `count` method to
count the records and the `order` and `page` methods when we want to
pass the records to the view. And, since we only display one partial per
request, we can simplify the code to render all the partials. There's
one minor disadvantage to this approach: searching the code for the
place where these partials are rendered is now a bit harder since
searching the code for something like "render (.+) budget_investments"
won't return any results.
We're also writing conditions about a certain filter just once, by
setting `valid_filters`. This greatly simplifies the logic, although
again there's one minor disadvantage: we have to implement the
`current_filter` method, duplicating the logic already defined in the
`HasFilters` concern.
We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.

We were seeing an exception when a user was following a proposal and
that proposal becomes hidden
With this commit we are skipping this proposals and hopefully fixing
this exception
We are also adjusting the count of followed proposals, without
including hidden proposals. It might be cleaner, to remove a `Follow`
when its `Followable` becomes hidden. But then we should probably
activate the `Follow` again if the `Followable` becomes non-hidden…
For now this commit should suffice 😌
