Hacker News Reader

If this was a newsgroup, then what you propose could be accomplished through a killfile. Basically, one could add a rule that would hide a post if either the subject or body contained a certain phrase, and, optionally, could hide any replies to that post.

Perhaps a neural network that detects politically charged posts?

Sounds like a fun side project.

Not that hard :). Add this as a tampermonkey script for a simple version.

Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName('comment')).forEach(x => {if (/Trump/.test(x.innerText)) { x.innerText = 'Trumped' }})

Where'd all my bloody Bridge tutorials go?!
