I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I'd never imagine that nice Mr. Musk would do that... Oh? He's been a total ass to workers at his other companies too you say? No, say it isn't so...

I hate that I can't block posts about X. I have a bunch of keywords blocked with filters but obviously I can't use X as a keyword. I'm sick of news/posts about X.

Well to be fair you could probably block the words "Elon" and "Musk, wouldn't that have caught this post?

Also how do you even block keywords? I'm still kinda new to Lemmy and I didn't see an option for it unless I'm missing something.

Yes actually I already had those blocked but turns out that I had Elon's but this title has Elon’s, different quote characters ' and ’ so that's why it didn't work. Funny thing, after adding that keyword I couldn't come back to reply and I thought the post was deleted, had to remove it just so I can access the post again.

I use Sync for lemmy on Android, it has a nice option where you can add a list of keywords and it hides posts that have it in the title.

Fair enough, filtering is a tough thing to do. Maybe we can use llm to process content to help?

I think it's app-specific. I use Voyager and the most recent version has ability to block keywords.

Maybe filter for ' X','X ',' X ' if that's possible

Would the second not block every word ending in x?

[-] piecat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The first would block words such as "x-ray" and "xylophone"

Thanks, you gave me an idea, the problem was that my keyword had ' but the title has ’ so now I had both types of quotes and it works.

'%X%' should remove any X with spaces around it right?
