@valpackett @leah I 100% agree (and it would be funny, and upset people I would like to see upset or at least thinking about it). But until they get around to it, one can sort of DIY it if you have a lobste.rs account; there's a 'filtered tags' setting¹ and you can hide anything that's explicitly tagged that way.

I used to be never logged in to lobste.rs unless I was about to leave a comment, now I'm logged in all the time due to this.
