I've been using #Friendica in preference to Masto for some time now, but one aspect i still intensely dislike is the inability to filter out all posts & their subsequent threads with words on my #NSFW addon list. It's just not good enough to merely collapse said posts into a spoiler but still have to endure those in my timeline [with all their response / child posts not collapsed if they don't also include the filtered word/s]... i wish it were like Masto where i have the option to have them entirely removed from my timeline. The current arrangement seems like a strange design decision afaict. Otoh i'm aware that given Friendica came long before Masto, maybe the problem is caused by Masto's protocol? Even if so, though, the result is a PITA for my Friendica UX. @Friendica Support

One option you should consider would be to create a channel.
There you can store a list of filtered words that not only hides posts but also removes them completely from the timeline.

But you're right. I would also like to see such a function for the fixed timelines. But I think it's a question of resources if and when such a word filter can be integrated.

@Matthias Ooh!
