I use Feedbro on Firefox. It allows you to create rules for feeds with specific checks/actions (for example to filter out items that contain specific words)

For reference, here are the exceptions I’ve been using to try to make sure my viewership counts. Not sure if they’re all needed

- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 3 months ago:
y’all need to stand up against racism and discrimination
I concur, I think they should push towards a more positive internet. Though I think they are a bit wary of doing it ever since the toxic backlash to this blog post
- Comment on Tech firms suggested placing trackers under offenders’ skin at meeting with UK justice secretary 3 months ago:
They will not use their massive amount of money and resources to create a society that eliminates the conditions that generate criminal behavior (scarcity, no communal support systems, etc.), but they will do this shit.
- Comment on How to draft a will to avoid becoming an AI ghost—it’s not easy 4 months ago:
lending any of your texts, voice, image, writings, etc. to any AI tools
I would think an even worse scenario would be having your entire brain mapped and uploaded, with everything you ever said/experienced/thought/felt/seen/etc. available to whoever. We should be able to take stuff to our graves.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 months ago:
I can only add my own personal experience - generally I can only stomach water in small amounts. It just doesn’t go down as smoothly as other drinks (juice for me). It feels like my mouth/throat rejects it a tiny bit.
(for reference, I drink some filtered tap water after every cup of juice)
