I use user filters, rather than topic filters so I don’t actually need to duck around them. This is how this subthread looks to me (the user I’m replying to isn’t blocked and is at the top level so I see him post): https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/images/d/d3/Screenshot-_Over...

The top level has something like 1133 comments, 745 blocked. And I can usually take a few seconds and move users into the block lists. I see it as just the curation of my space. It would be silly to claim threads like these are useful honeypots and then to not actually use them as honeypots.

The rest of the time the site just is a lot more useful to me.

I made this as a minimal way to share one’s blocklists https://overmod.org/

I have a Chrome extension there but I also have an iOS app that I use for myself alone (it’s really not production grade). The Chrome extension is pretty rudimentary so if you want to replicate it you can just tell your agent to do so and if it helps the source is on GitHub. The iOS app is vibe-coded entirely so perhaps you’re better off starting from scratch there.

It’s a pretty basic requirement to interact with social media these days, I think because the information feed is full of noise.

Here’s another user who implemented a different approach: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46459985
