is there a way to block posts by keyword, like I can block any post containing the word "musk"？ (sh.itjust.works)

If you do that, how will you stay up to date on my 172-part saga on various animal musk scents that I've recently smelled in my neighborhood?

well I'm going to have the keyword musk blocked, but I'm going to allow exceptions for "died", " comedic drowning", or "scent".

“scent”

You are braver than I am.

if possible, check for capitalization so "Musk" is blocked but "musk" is allowed?

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

solid suggestion, thanks

Good call. Fortunately, many annoying topics and people have very distinct names. My US elections candidates filter for example is working very well and toning the flood of news articles a bit down 😆

Though, now that I'm thinking of it... Maybe I'm missing out on news on trumpets and whatever Harrison Ford does?!

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

What does Ford have to do with politics? Unless you meant Harris, but then that's easily solved by blocking only whole words.

[-] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Maybe Doug Ford the famous meth smoking politician from Canada or his brother Rob (or vice versa?)?

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or Gerald Ford (but the joke was 100% "Harrison" being blocked.)

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 1 month ago

I like all of the answers, though😅
