As the title says I want to block posts with specific words. I'm not an American and lately my whole feed is filled with trump/biden and I'm not slightly interested. Thanks in advance.

In the app I use (voyager) there is a settings category to allow filtering words, users, communities or even instances from your feed.

I banished Elon, Musk, and Taylor. The word swift would have been good too but it’s not specific enough to her name.

    oh cool. now I can block every trash news article that includes phrases like "blasts", "slams", "says", "should", "could", "might", and "need to".

    What's wrong with "says"? But yeah, blasts and slams definitely need to go, lmao

    Particularly in politics and news communities, it indicates a "here is what predicts will happen" article. They're not all shit by default, but I'm generally not interested in speculation pieces. I only want to know what actions concretely happened, not what some guy anticipates may happen.
