Glad you posted this, it reminded me to update my Lemmy content filter! Up to now, I've just filtered out any headline including the word "slam, slammed, or slams." Because those headlines are garbage. Now I've remembered I need to add the word "blast, blasted, and blasts," because those are garbage too. Thanks!!
Cool. Wait until you realize some of those garbage headlines represent great articles though. Obviously not all of them, but it seems very weird to filter out so many words
Nah op is in the right here, it's a really reliable indicator of ragebait, tabloid and/or amateur journalism
Nahh, an article can present a point of view we deem to be "correct" while still engaging in clickbait and sensationalism. I'm not interested in clickbait or sensationalism, so I find that my filtering methods do a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the trash.
woe woe woe. lemmy has a content filter. I liked kbin and was going mbin but I would really like a filter for certain key words.
Might just be the app I use, idk.
woe means 'a condition of deep suffering from misfortune, affliction, or grief', you want woah
no I meant that. like my kingdom for a content filter. and of course that is bullshit I just did not even think about the spelling of the exclamation.
