I got tired of seeing trump face everywhere and a kind user by the name of SubArcticTundra shared his keyword based block list as images. I wrote them down and am sharing them with anyone else that is tired of constantly seeing USA politics on his feed.

it should work on sync, Connect and eternity since they have keyword based filtering . Voyager , liftoff and jerboa don’t have this feature (yet).

here’s the list in text format for direct use on connect (i didn’t use some of the keywords he shared to minimize collateral damage on actual world news posts that may be interesting ) :

gop, jan, maga, representatives, congress, biden, trump, desantis, far right, alt-right, democrat, democrats, republican, republicans

It may not work 100% of the time but it should drastically decrease the constant spam of political news / trump pictures.

        Was only pointing out the misspellings, but “leftis” is a clever way to hit all of those, I agree. Still, “white house” is not one word, and “Ukraine” has an “e” at the end (though, I suspect that follows the “leftis” formula). Downvote all you want, though. 😅

          Honestly , your comment felt more like a "why you’re blocking these keywords. You must not block them " or "look he’s blocking leftist and Ukraine he must be right winger " attitude, which isn’t outlandish if you see some of the responses to his comment.
