I just noticed that I like posts with “X ordered to do…” sooo much better than posts with “Elon says…”

I prefer the latter, because it’s so much easier to filter out posts about Elon than it is to filter out posts about X (without creating a ton of false positives).

exactly this. i have a filter on certain keywords. his name is in there but there’s nothing I can do to avoid posts about the platform.

it’s super irritating.

Does your filter recognize whitespace? Including a space before and/or after X should catch the posts about the platform while not filtering out posts that just have an X inside a word somewhere. X isn’t going to be a single letter surrounded by space unless it’s referring to the platform.

Honestly, between these obsession posts and all the other non-tech news that gets posted here, I just unsubscribed this morning. The signal to noise ratio in this community is just not worth it to me.
