💡 It occurred to me that it would be valuable for clients to not just adopt following hash tags, some do some don't right now.

It would also be good to allow negative filtering. Meaning if there was a topic I just didn't give two fucks sideways about, I could neg filter the hash tag or even a word itself.

Both options would be great, max flexibility.

To me this is less about a user not seeing something they don't want to and more about maximizing feed value.

We all have lives outside of the internet, we take time to use social media to learn, connect, build networks, etc. So it should also be very easy to see your filters, positive and negative to review and modify them.

Content is like music, it isn't good or bad just subjective. Sometimes I am in the mood for old corny 80 hair band rock, most of the time I am not. It is kind of like that. #grownostr

I'd love to negative filter the zapathon hashtag, its basically the nextdoor Friday night VRBO teenage houseparty of nostr. I don't mind people doing it, I just don't want it wasting my time

Exactly what I mean, everyone feels that way about something.

I never know if my #hashtags clickable until I see tem after I post/comment somewhere. I stopped using them, like many have... but with the new #spirko inspired #grownostr initiative, I'll use them and will choose to block people over the blocking of a tag...

Agreed.

Mute for 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, forever...

+1 for negative hash tag filters!

Or lists sections. Meaning you put people you follow in different lists and see the stream of their posts accordingly.

The filtering can be good and bad in that some people should be exposed to other things to not be bubbled off from others.
