 Hi @r-a-y & @wbcomdesigns

 Thanks for the report and the work on this ticket. I think
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/raw-
 attachment/ticket/7918/7918.01.patch 7918.01.patch] is a good first step.
 I also think, adding a new filter to edit the default selected value is a
 possible way, but as the selected value is set using JavaScript (see
 buddypress.js or buddypress-nouveau.js), I'd probably do it using
 JavaScript to avoid parsing the output.

 In legacy, this can be done by setting the `$.cookie( 'bp-activity-filter'
 )` cookie with the default value if it's not set yet and in Nouveau by
 setting the `bp-activity` session storage filter property with the default
 value. Here's an example of how you can achieve it :

 I would recommend to work on a Core JavaScript file to store some default
 values just like this one in a future release so that it's easier for
 plugin developers to get/set informations about scope, filter, current
 action, current component etc.. Just like the `buddypress()` or global
 `$bp` does.
