Results are in! By a 10% margin the hourly newscast posts were voted to stay.

Thanks to all that voted, shared, commented.

We added the hashtag #NPRhourlyNewscast to make it easy to filter it out, as suggested by some. Here is how to do it in Mastodon’s official docs: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/

We will revisit this issue periodically.

@npr I'm not sure you got the information you wanted. You've asked the people who are following you despite these posts; your voters were pre-filtered by preference. I did not vote because I stopped following and didn't see the poll.

@npr Also, newbies are not going to be aware of this feature for filtering out by hash tag. Instead, you're going to find that most people who don't want to be flooded with these zero-information posts are simply going to unfollow. Doesn't seem like the best strategy for building a following on Mastodon.
