Can we let this platform die quietly and stop bombarding the feed with Elmo spam?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

There's a community dedicated to Musk stories called Enough Musk Spam. I post in it all the time and I wholly advocate keeping most Musk/Twitter stories off this community unless they are of significant importance.

I've added Lemmy filter keywords for Elon, Musk and Twitter, but that won't stop headlines like these, unfortunately.

Sneaky bastards renamed it something that can't be blocked with a word-filter unless you're willing to block bunch of unrelated stuff aswell

Try filtering the phrase "formerly Twitter". Most articles I see still add that after the "x".

[–] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Didn't work for this article. For that matter, you can just forego the "formerly".

I second this request. I haven’t give a shit about Twitter since it first came out.
