@Andrewhinton This is now in Mastodon 4.2. If you go to your list settings you can now have everyone in that list hidden from your home timeline. You can do it that way in Ivory now as well (as opposed to hiding each person manually from home).
it's really too bad that the systems term "positive feedback", referring to dangerous dynamics, also means "good job, skippy!"

We hear lots about Covid transmission at gatherings that had no precautions, but not enough about events where folks were successfully protected.

I coordinated a meetup for https://Kind.Social during PAX West '23 which was deliberately held outdoors with free 3M VFlex N95s. 

Covid was present, but it didn't spread.

One @ivory feature I wish could be native to Mastodon: “Filter user from home” … in order to add an account to a list you have to follow it (unlike Twitter), but I follow a lot of news & other topic-specific accounts I would prefer to only see in lists vs home feed.

Happy 65th birthday to Joan Marie Larkin, aka Joan Jett , Born today 22nd September 1958
