#muting

Note: for new folks to the both the fediverse and me, my toot ratio is like 90% #monsterdon shitpost to 10% everything else, so if you're -not- into snark on old films best described a turkeys, it's best to mute the hashtag entirely. Odds are if you've been here a couple of weeks even, you've already done this and won't even see this post: Carry on. Otherwise we have some instructions here thanks to @jonny@neuromatch.social on how to mute the entire hashtag- https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon#Muting That said, feel free to join in, Sundays at 9pm Eastern we all press play on the same move, usually available on Tubi, archive.org, or at least one free streaming service. If you search the hashtag above and turn off "slow mode" (may be called something else in the official client) you can get a real-time update from others across the fediverse as the movie goes.

UBlock is really cool.

You can use UBlock's cosmetic features instead of Mastodon's (or other Fediverse software's) filters and mutes functions. This is especially useful for shared accounts, e.g. for activist groups.

You don't want to see posts by some bot for example, but others using the same Mastodon account do, just filter it locally in your browser.

For Mastodon in the UBlock settings under "my filters" add:

fediverse.instance##article > div > .focusable.status__wrapper-public.status__wrapper > .status-public.status:has-text(/botaccount/)

replace fediverse.instance with your fediverse instance and botaccount with the handle of an account, hashtag or word you want to mute. Copy paste and edit it line for line for everything you want to mute (you can always mute more accounts and stuff later). Hit "apply changes".

CAVE:

• For software other than Mastodon the filter will have to look differently.
• This filter applies for public timelines only. If you want to mute notifications or hide PMs from certain accounts in your PM list you'll have to use a different filter. (I can share different filters if you have need for some, or if you want to find them yourself use UBlock's element picker and add the :has-text(/xxx/) bit at the end or e.g. replace the :nth-of-type(4) with it).
