Is there a way to block photos from my timeline of that racist piece of trash that calls himself our president ?#USPol

@firefly None that I know of. I wouldn't want to blur all media because then I'd miss the cats, dogs, birds, landscapes, windows, etc. — which are much more prevalent in my timeline than photos of horrible politicians.

But maybe @FediTips has a suggestion.

@jeridansky @FediTips I don’t want to blur the good stuff either. I am particularly grossed out by seeing his face (and others of his ilk). But I’ll just scroll faster if the only way around it is through it.

@firefly Maybe you can filter on words that usually accompany the photos. But I know that might be tough.

Or follow fewer people whose posts contain his image. (Or put those folks in a separate list and have them not included in your main timeline.)

@jeridansky @firefly

There's nothing specifically for photos, but you can filter out posts that mention particular words, phrases, links, hashtags or emoji: https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/

@FediTips @ai6yr @jeridansky @firefly If people use alt text, then the filters also apply, I’ve found, but that requires people using effective alt text…

@b_cavello But if people are just linking to a news article on a website, and the image comes from the article preview, there isn't any alt text, is there? Unless people purposely add an image which will then replace the article preview photo, which I know some folks do.
