I really miss having regex filters.
for use here?
@Bliss
Yes. I'm trying to reduce the avalanche of political posts coming from people who I otherwise don't want to block, and my manual filters just aren't keeping up. Guess I'll keep plugging away.
@voltronic @Bliss
The regular filters seem intermittent. Sometimes it blocks links to sites I don't want to see or that are paywalled, sometimes they show up.
@AlphaCentauri
I'm finding that the filters don't work consistently either. Maybe I need to log out and back in, I'm not sure what's up.
I'm really sorry you're experiencing that.
I realized during a very long and lively discusdion today that in the responses to my post, the 7 or 8 folks in the conversation didnt use the politics or political hashtag.
Maybe #s that auto propagate when you reply is a feature @th3j35t3r can add to help folks. That would make it easier for everyone.
@Bliss @voltronic @th3j35t3r
I was under the impression that hashtags only function if they're in the OP, but I don't filter for those, just words. Hashtags are important for finding things I want to see, but they're unnecessary for filtering what I don't want to see, as you only need to filter for the word itself.
