What happened to the HackerNews bot? I miss him
Day 2 after muting the words that should not be named:
It's been very pleasant. I've seen art, tech, culture and discussions about day-to-day stuff.
Some stuff that should be muted still gets through because it's text in jpeg memes, but it's fine.
My feed is much much thinner, which is a good thing. Less time wasted on social media is much healthier.
Lastly, muting all that stuff causes me to get less angry and enter meaningless pointless discussions.
I'll keep the filters for now!
Unfortunately they are usually very full
It's not ironic, it's sus
Next I want to mute quotes that just add an emoji before the quoted note. Technology will get there eventually 🤞
I think mute words are client-local, so no
That would be so annyoing that it's best to just give up 😆
Unfortunately you can't
Nah, the expectation is that only things that get rendered as text should be muted. If a mentioned vanity pubkey contained a muted string by some odd chance, should the note also be muted?
Ok it turns out muting "nostr" absolutely breaks it in non-expected ways. Notes containing nostr.build url images get muted and any note quoting also causes a mute since it includes the "nostr:" uri string.
If a note only contained that, I would like it muted. But sometimes there's a nice joke or fun fact
Contrary to what you might expect, my feed is not a ghost town. But I basically turned n.o.s.t.r into mastodon, since it makes 90% of what survives 🤣
I love the smell of self-censorship in the morning
Amethyst still notifies me of your reply but censors my OP 😂
I might just keyword mute "nostr" and see what happens
*there's a whitespace typo in the last command, beware
