    exactly this. i have a filter on certain keywords. his name is in there but there’s nothing I can do to avoid posts about the platform.

    it’s super irritating.

      Honestly, between these obsession posts and all the other non-tech news that gets posted here, I just unsubscribed this morning. The signal to noise ratio in this community is just not worth it to me.

      Does your filter recognize whitespace? Including a space before and/or after X should catch the posts about the platform while not filtering out posts that just have an X inside a word somewhere. X isn’t going to be a single letter surrounded by space unless it’s referring to the platform.

        i have tried with various formats and unfortunately none of them work, or they just ignore the attempt.

        i appreciate you trying to help, though. i honestly just kinda wish it would change names again so it’d be easier to somehow block. lol
