And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

Also keyword blocking does fuck-all for screenshots of microblog posts to tangentially related communities... Every day I come across several US politics posts even with me deliberately not subscribing to any political or US-specific communities, and only looking at my subscriptions. (Admittedly reddit is much worse at this, with generic subs like r/AskReddit and r/LeopardsAteMyFace being inundated with Trump crap.)

    You know what's crazy? Proper use of alt-text would save you from this.

    As much as I hate seeing the copy-paste block of text on why alt-text should be included with image posts... I can't help but admit that alt-text paves the way for better post filtering and overall information preservation.

    I'm not sure what copy-paste block that is, but I'm absolutely in favour of people including alt text in their posts. It helps disabled people, and both the searchability and filterability of the post. It just requires giving a shit, and that's generally more effort than people put into posting 😐
