Ability to exclude specific domains or topics#33

It’d be nice to have a negative / exclusion filter. Say I’m interested in psychology, but I don’t want to see anything from psychologytoday.com or anything that includes certain keywords.

In the UX, it could be like when I click on dislike, it gives me options like exclude domain, exclude certain keywords, etc.

Great suggestion!

Agreed, I’d like to browse All Feeds without seeing dev.to for example

I just came to suggest this. This really shouldn’t be a premium feature, at least not as long as there’s no content moderation in place. There’s some really vile garbage in my feed where “dislike” just doesn’t cut it. I’m talking Russian propaganda sites glorifying war crimes against Ukrainians or a deranged blog where every post is about declaring certain ethnicities as “genetic trash”, just to name two recent examples I’ve seen.

Maybe this feature requests should be split, you could make excluding topics a premium feature but blocking certain sources should be free.

I’m sorry to hear you’re seeing that type of content in your feed. If you come across specific examples, could you email the links to me at evan at scour.ing?

I am using a model to try to filter out harmful content, but it definitely won’t catch everything. If I have specific examples, I can try to figure out why they’re making it through.

You can now block content from specific domains in your settings! (Sorry this took me a while to get around to implementing but thank you for the suggestion!)
