hiya everybody, since #mastodonFilters aren't working properly right now this is a great time to step up your use of content warnings.

Think of it as preserving the delicate aquatic ecosystem of my mental health from exposure to too much fertilizer runoff (nitrogen, phosphorous) which can result in toxic algal blooms.

Please boost.

@ProcessParsnip wait what happened with filters

@aburka they just aren't working. Totally unfiltered posts, into my headwaters!!

I have no idea why, but it's true on this instance and my backup account, and another user confirmed the same thing.

Idk where to even report this #FediBug since nobody else has seemed to notice or comment yet

@aburka yup. I double-checked and it's not like my filters suddenly disappeared.

Same instructions, ex: "hide completely" anything with Epstein, just nothing happens.

@ProcessParsnip @aburka Feck - is this still an issue? (Some of my filters are working for me just now, via the Ice Cubes app.)

Yup, just checked, still broke.

I don't have the bandwidth to investigate more today, but I saw something interesting just now: an image was hidden by my filter based on the alt text, but the text of the post (which didn't contain any filterable keywords) was not. That's never happened before!

I'll respond back here when I get some time to gather better intel.

@aburka

@ProcessParsnip @aburka Oh, that's curious. Thanks for the heads-up - no pressure on following up, though. Much appreciated!
