If you follow someone whose own posts are good but they boost too much, you can hide just their boosts if you want:

1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ icon
3. Click "Hide boosts"

(If you change your mind, go back to their profile and click "Show boosts" instead.)

You can go further if you use the web interface + #Tampermonkey #userscripts. You can catch literally any unwanted posts according to the criteria that you set yourself. Yes, this is not at the server level, but just filtering in your view, crooked, askew, but it works 😉

You can also use filters to hide unwanted posts with particular content: https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/

Filters don't work on user IDs, only on post content. So I had to code my own local implementation...

@johan Wouldn't mute or block do that? What's the benefit of using the method you described?
