I’m wondering how hard it would be to write a firefox extension that blocked individual Lemmy posts based on the presence of words in a block list.

I’m pretty famiiar with Python, but have only done a little bit of hacking of JS, so was hoping the brains trust could provide some insight.

    I skimmed through the section and simply assumed the worst, sorry about that. Still, it is closed source, so you just have to trust them, bro, and that’s more often than not the wrong approach.

    edit: Skimming a bit more, there actually seem to be some valid concerns around privacy, since TamperMonkey seems to have used (still uses?) google analytics, which is enabled by default, so take that as you will; see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26057106
