Filtered as many words and phrases as I can (excluding X) and it’s still not stopping the flood of posts.

Does anyone know of a way I can filter this, is it even possible?

If not could the app be updated to include a block ‘X’ posts without removing all words with the letter X in it?

    Had to clear my own filters to see my post, im going backwards lol. Might just have to live with it.

    Edit: Another suggestion for the app would be the option to allow my own posts and comments to display despite my filters.

    Yeah I tested it myself and I guess we’ll have to put in a feature request for a new type of Keyword Filter that only removes whole words instead of anything containing that word.

    Ironically, people who have setup such a filter probably won’t see your post and won’t be able to help.

    I think the cleanest way of doing it is to just block the users who post that content. Takes a while, but it dies down eventually.

    I don’t think I’ve encountered one Musk based post in the three months I’ve been on here. Maybe it’s the communities you’re subscribed to?

        Yeah I had to unsub from technology for that reason the Musk-derangement is so strong there it just made it unusable.

        (Musk derangement in the sense that he does whatever his latest idiocy is then a thousand people pile in with increasingly deranged comments. )

          I feel that’s going to be my only option; Rather than filtering him out entirely. That said he will continue to pop up in my feed no matter what I do unfortunately.

          But I can live with that.

    Unless you have to use the platform, there’s always an option to leave. I found it very liberating to no longer be a part of any social media (except lurking on Lemmy). Give it a thought 🤔
