@LGsMom @fediverse @VisualStuart Also eager to learn the answer to this question. #filter #AnnoyingPhrase

@LGsMom @fediverse

Annoying hashtags are legion. Since they're supposed to entice, which #AnnoyingPhrase doesn't do, it's unlikely to have an effect if you filter it.

I use the whack-a-mole approach, and deal individually with each type of annoying hashtag as it shows up. Some generic types can wipe out whole swathes of posts you don't want to see.

I'd suggest a few hashtags, but I don't know what annoys you.

@riggbeck @fediverse I didn’t broadcast the specific hashtag. No need to rain on anyone’s parade just bc I’m not interested. Still, my efforts to clean up my timeline have been ineffective and now the #AnnoyingHashtag is REALLY annoying.
