I’ve jokingly / seriously been waiting for things like this. I’m the type to go overboard with filtering and mute lists on twitter, but images are harder to deal with. I did have a 60,000 line pastebin that was used in conjunction with a Chrome extension to block Wojack and Pepe memes on 4chan using md5 hashes, but something not rely on specific hashes is obviously superior.

One day someone will release the ‘detect and block anything resembling kpop’ extension for Twitter and I’ll be happy.



> block Wojack and Pepe memes on 4chan

What are you there for, then?


to collect dataset?


Wait, I'm still confused. Why have a nsfw filter for data collection if the subject is partially defined by its nsfw qualities?


touché


I expressed some interest at some point of hiding profiles which contained a certain phrase in their bio and got downvoted. Does anyone know of any extentions that can do this?


I would use this for sure. Certain phrases are great flags for me to know "I won't be interested in anything this person has to say."


Do you think the issue with hyperpartisanism is that people’s existing bubbles and filters just aren’t strong enough?


I don't know about all of that, but I do know I want to use twitter for tech and not politics.


I'd love a youtube comment filter that instantly removes anyone with a meme avatar or famous world leader avatar. I can skip the opinions of Hitler, pepe and JC Denton.


I am very interested in this wojak/pepe filtering thing, I think it's finally started to decrease but there was a solid 5 year gap where you really couldn't escape those dumb pictures

I started doing the same with md5 hash filtering but it was very slow going, an AI that can detect low quality posts and filter them out is the holy grail I guess

Not only kpop, but entire "fandoms" as a whole. When that software finally arrives, I want to be able to refer back to this comment and say I read it here first.


I want the same for ‘emotional hooks by PR’. It works so well on the internet that we get flooded with it.
