keyword filter in an app: twitter

good luck filtering out โ€œXโ€

You could filter out x with spaces on both sides, and it should work fine.

There is rarely a reason to type x like that except in equations.

huh, I wasnโ€™t aware the keyword filters would factor in whitespace at either end, Iโ€™m used to that getting stripped out.

[โ€“] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It depends, if it supports regular expressions you can make one that guarantees spaces on both sides of the letter.

Interesting, Iโ€™ll have to experiment with it, not sure if voyager supports regex.

Some apps, like Voyager, allow you to add words that filter out posts and comments
