As the title says I want to block posts with specific words. I’m not an American and lately my whole feed is filled with trump/biden and I’m not slightly interested. Thanks in advance.

        Particularly in politics and news communities, it indicates a “here is what <vaguely credible source we asked> predicts will happen” article. They’re not all shit by default, but I’m generally not interested in speculation pieces. I only want to know what actions concretely happened, not what some guy anticipates may happen.

          I could see it being used for quotes (or at least paraphrasings), so I can’t imagine it being all bad
