@BoydStephenSmithJr @newsbot Thanks for the mention of newsbot, this may be a good alternative for some folks.

I like newsbot but don’t use it myself because I want to weed / silence some news sources at various times without dealing with filters and as individual follows I can mute them for 5 minutes, an hour, or a day really quickly. Reuters and DW in particular can be like trying to drink from a firehose at times.
