"babe, wake up, it's time for your hourly post about Elon Musk/Twitter"

I had blocked "Elon Musk" on RiF and didn't knew how good I had it. Hope Jerboa devs add something like that.

Now I understand the rename. It is much harder to block X.

You could do that?? Years of using the app and I never even knew.. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Artemis has this, currently the overall app is in beta & you have to be using an account from artemis.camp (until the kbin api is fully rolled out to all instances)

I think you can do it in Sync, it has a bajillion options. You should be able to do it once Boost comes out too, as it was an original option.

You know you can just scroll past things youโ€™re not interested in, right?

You know if you block something you aren't interested in you don't even have to scroll past it, right?

Yup, and Iโ€™m all for blocking! Go for it.

Iโ€™m not, however, a fan of people who comment just to complain about seeing something they donโ€™t like instead of curating their feed or moving past. Which is why Iโ€™ve said nothing to the folks wishing for proper block/mute functions (even though a random post really isnโ€™t the place where thatโ€™s gonna do anything; spend that energy making feature requests or in communities for those upcoming apps where the devs will actually see it) and made the comment to get person snarkily complaining about Musk content.
