Some social media platforms have a feature to filter out posts that contain certain keywords. Here are some of the ways I think they can improve it:
An option to mute not just a specific keyword but a couple of words directly related to it.
"Sports" will mute posts containing "Football", "Tennis", etc.
Enabling this option will show a few words that are related to this keyword and we can select what we want to include in the muted list of words.
An option to filter out posts from profiles with certain keywords in their names and bios.
"crypto" will mute posts from people with "crypto" in their names and bios.
An option to exclude accounts from a keyword(s) filter mute.
Mute "Taylor Swift" and add the official account of Taylor Swift as an exceptions so that this account's posts with the muted keywords won't be filtered.
An option to select only specific accounts that will be affected by a keyword(s) mute
Mute "football" for CNN, BBC
Will filter out posts from those accounts containing "football"
An option to whitelist instead of blacklist posts with certain words. The whitelisted words will be used to prioritise posts with these keywords.
An option to not only filter posts but also prevent the trending page from showing words and hashtags with the muted keywords.
An option to mute images too
"bulbasaur" will filter out not just posts but images of this battle salad
"backr*ms" will mute "backrooms", "backr00ms", "backr_o_o_ms", etc
"*j*l*o" will mute
"░J░L░O ░I░N░ ░B░I░O░"
An option to export and import a list of muted keywords so we don't have to setup the same filters on another account.
