As the title says I want to block posts with specific words. I’m not an American and lately my whole feed is filled with trump/biden and I’m not slightly interested. Thanks in advance.
In the app I use (voyager) there is a settings category to allow filtering words, users, communities or even instances from your feed.
I banished Elon, Musk, and Taylor. The word swift would have been good too but it’s not specific enough to her name.
oh cool. now I can block every trash news article that includes phrases like “blasts”, “slams”, “says”, “should”, “could”, “might”, and “need to”.
What’s wrong with “says”? But yeah, blasts and slams definitely need to go, lmao
Particularly in politics and news communities, it indicates a “here is what <vaguely credible source we asked> predicts will happen” article. They’re not all shit by default, but I’m generally not interested in speculation pieces. I only want to know what actions concretely happened, not what some guy anticipates may happen.
I could see it being used for quotes (or at least paraphrasings), so I can’t imagine it being all bad
The dude who repairs clothes must be pissed.
Sync allows you to filter posts by keyword in settings. Here is my block list: https://lemmy.ml/post/4194272
Another vote for Voyager which caters for blocking of keywords. And thanks to whoever posted the US politics block list. Can’t upvote as I can no longer see their post.
You can filter in Voyager the keywords you don’t want. In my eyes it’s better to block the users directly. There are some social warrior guys here posting their stuff more than once. They seem to be all over, but after all my blocking list is not more than 30 accounts. Not much. But the feed is clean.
