Hello everyone,

Basically title. At the moment I use the "hide post" feature when I see this kind of posts in generic communities (e.g. !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world ), but I was curious to see if anyone had another option, such as maybe a tampermonkey script?

Thank you for your help.

The problem is that many of these content are image-only (titles don't always include names), requiring some kind of extension/userscript that's able to do some kind of OCR or Computer Vision. You can block specific communities or users, but this will also block potentially good threads (not everybody that's posting about politics is necessarily a politics-only user, same goes for communities such as !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world that aggregate both political and non-political content).

While there are communities explicitly and specifically focused on politics that can be blocked outright, there's no easy way to block every single political content without some kind of sophisticated client-side AI (which is error-prone).

At this stage, I would be happy with being able to filter based on titles alone, no need for OCR.
