I would love to sometimes filter out any and all political posts, I think having this enabled as default on some instances would also be preferred by some users.

I’m a software dev, if it doesn’t require a lot of work I’m happy to make a Pull Request for this feature, but do people want this? Is there anyone I should maybe talk to before starting, or anything I should know?

Edit: I realise it won’t filter out ALL political posts, but even if it only catches half of the stuff, it could make the difference between being flooded with Trump/Musk news and not.

Some new users might turn away before knowing the can set filters etc. (which also aren’t perfect)

    Maybe make use of the existing blocking features, and use a client that has keyword filtering?

    I’ve been able to get my experience pretty damn close to as filtered as I want it just with community, instance, and user blocking.
