To be clear, Iβm not a nihilist. I have plenty of optimism for the future.
But it does not include saving a country that has dedicated its entire existence to the de-evolution of mankind so a handful of entitled pricks can control systems they have no idea even how to manage or use.
Iβm off that train. I want to live, not conform to some bullshit set by people who hate themselves.

related to this, is it possible on Fediverse to filter posts based on the URL of a link? I would like to immediately block any reposts of WaPo but don't want false positives.

in reply to teledyn π • • •teledyn π
in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •So then if I post just the bare hostname, although client apps may change that into a link, the filter sees what was originally entered? And a filter including the https part would then let that domain name pass but catch all the shared links?
Fedi.Tips
in reply to teledyn π • • •Yeah, for example a filter for "google.com" with whole word un-ticked would filter posts with google.com URLs in them.
You don't even have to write the whole domain, a partial match is enough, but this may also filter other domains by accident.
Or you could filter for a specific URL including https etc.
