I hope this is the one thing that he actually follows through on. Drive a stake through it already
I really hope so too. I’m tired of Musk.
We all are. He sucks so much and looks like a dollar store Kathy Bates.
I’m trying to figure out if that’s more insulting to Kathy Bates or Dollar Stores.
I wish Lemmy had keyword filters.
Edit: hmmm… Maybe the slur filter will work. Let’s try.
The beauty of the Fediverse is that many tasks like this can be done by the client, as opposed to the actual base software.
For instance, Lemmy can’t actually block instances or “subs” (or whatever the equivalent is) on an individual level, but Voyager can.
On another point, as much as I hate hearing about Musk and Twitter, they are both very powerful, and both have an impact on the world. Especially if Twitter were to become an “everything app” (AKA Superapp)(which it hopefully won’t).
True, but the clients are still in their infancy. Liftoff has no support for it as far as I know. Meanwhile, I have the luck of running my own instance, so if the filter fixes it, that would be great.
When I still used Twitter, I was very glad to be able to filter out Trump, otherwise I’d see half a dozen tweets about him per day. We’re kinda heading there with removed on Lemmy now, and I really don’t even want to spend the mental energy it takes to ignore it.
Edit: meh. Using the slur filter just replaces “removed” with “removed”. Time to investigate some other clients I guess.
I never tried this but someone said that if you put this into your ablocker cosmetic rules it should filter out entries with said keywords. Obviously only works if you’re using browser. The example is for posts containing the word “blockchain”
lemmy.ml##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(Blockchain)Ah yeah, with uBlock Origin that would probably work. I primarily use lemmy on mobile though. Now I’m giving Connect a spin. It has support for filters and it’s pretty customizable. Also, it’s free and has no ads or trackers.
If you’re using Lemmy on iPhone, Memmy (application) provides this feature. It works pretty well
Ironically, getting rid of twitter wouldn’t solve that issue for me, because it’s Lemmy when I hear about him. Before my migration here, I hardly paid any attention to him at all. This site needs a word filter really badly
