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)

    News are quite anxious, and I understand that we have to take her of ourselves by categorize it. However all political contents do not bring anxiety. I’m sorry but ignoring people struggling for their lives with tag system is making hell places for them, not safe place.

    I don’t see the point of that kind of contribution, and I must admit, I seems kind of suspicious to me
