Suggestion: Could we get rid of this icon?

For the longest time I was wondering what this icon is about. It seems kind of redundant because posts that I read before are already greyed out. Does the icon serve another purpose because I feel like it clutters the interface. Could we get rid of it?
Personally I don't like it because 1, it's redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.
Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it's brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.
Without it, it's simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.
Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.
Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid
