For those who use filters : How many keywords do you have filtered out of your feed?

Please boost for more response. I want to get a feel for where I rank on the scale of filtering.

@galacticstone
More than wanted to count, def more than 100.

I went for 100+, but that's not necessarily seperate words.
I use Misskey forks so not a direct comparison.

Soft, hard word & phrase mutes, including / excluding hashtags.

Antennas (Custom Timelines) are seperate and can limit / expand this.

Filter lists vary and the way Misskey works I can still get notifications of followed accounts who have used filtered words, annoying.

@galacticstone #monsterdon count??? <ducks>

[thefathippy@mastodon.world]

@galacticstone

I can't get them to work as I'd like—two otherwise identical filters, one works, one doesn't. Another, my Cory Doctorow "only show the first in his 'long thread' toots", works brilliantly.

Mind you, I didn't try that hard. 🤷

[admin@mastodon.slightlycyberpunk.com]

@galacticstone Seven, one of which doesn't actually work (tried to make one to filter out walls of hashtags but apparently Mastodon no longer supports such complex filters)

Mostly I'm filtering specific domain names -- X, substack, LinkedIn, etc...the only working non-URL filter I have is from the last Olympics to get rid of the sports posts lol

But being on a self-hosted instance helps. I only see and am seen by the people and servers I choose to associate with. My feed is already pretty tightly curated without filtering lol

[not3ottersinacoat@mastodon.social]

@galacticstone Just over 200 now.

[cryogenicice9@mastodon.online]

@noplasticshower @galacticstone My 3 being monsterdon, now playing, and haiku really make me feel like a bit of a curmudgeon.

[ktnjared@corteximplant.com]

@galacticstone I’m sitting well over 100 at the moment. I probably only add 2-3/month at this stage. Depending on how shite the world gets this year, I may still be below 250 by 2027.

[dkmcf@twit.social]

@galacticstone Since the number of keywords would be "countable" (as opposed to "mass"), that first option should read "*fewer* than 10" (not "less than 10"). Anyway, my number is 0, which is fewer than 10.

[mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org]

@galacticstone … do I really have to try and count them? Eurghs.

Nah, I’m just going to SQL it.

gotosocial=> SELECT * FROM filters WHERE account_id='…';

@galacticstone when you need a break from Usonian politics, it adds up very quickly

(I don’t live in USA anymore, nor am I a citizen of USA.)

[epicenevivant@mas.to]

@galacticstone I have ~260 distinct filters some of which filter >10 keywords apiece. Still adding new ones trying to fight off the doom.

[geichel@mastodon.ie]

@galacticstone I filter #cats. It brings the level of cat pictures down a bit :)

[clickhere@mastodon.ie]

@galacticstone I have about 10 filters, with at least one word per filter - some have two or three; one has around 30.

So, at a rough guess, mine filter out a little over 50 words or so, maybe a little over?

[quester@mstdn.games]

@galacticstone Definitely over 100, because I have to filter in two languages, English and Finnish, with the latter being my mother tongue and it has so many conjugations that just having the base word or a person’s name is not enough.

[afewbugs@social.coop]

@CryogenicIce9 @noplasticshower @galacticstone every possible permutation of those games that generate a string of green squares, and Strictly Come Dancing 😂

[zdl@mstdn.social]

@galacticstone I literally cracked the 50 mark yesterday.

[zdl@mstdn.social]

@geichel @galacticstone Only a bit. I also have to filter out #caturday and #catsofMastodon and a few others in similar vein.

And I still get periods where there's more cat pictures than content.

[zdl@mstdn.social]

@xgebi @galacticstone That's about 2/3 of my filters, yes.
