   @Nickname @randahl I have the same problem with people who use hashtags wrong.

   My only recourse is to block them right now so that next time I browse a hashtag, they won't show up, polluting my feed. I wish I can browse a hashtag and exclude people...😩

     @randahl Well one can mute accounts as a default #Mastodon feature. But yeah I dont know what that does about Boosts, would definitely be good to have more options such as, "filter posts from ppl with # in their account if boosted to my timeline" etc
     Btw in #Fedilab you can even exclude accounts you follow from your homefeed, that would IMHO also be a nice default feature, or in general making it easier to follow accounts and hashtags as well as to have multiple timelines based on that.

     Today I identified a limitation with Mastodon.

     A person wishes not to see any politics in their feed, and kindly asked me to put content warnings on politics.

     I replied that this would be counterproductive to my very reason for being on Mastodon, so they blocked me.

     I respect their decision, but would it not be better if the person could choose not to see boosts of my posts without blocking me and ending all dialogue?

     Update: This IS possible via the web interface. Awesome!

     @randahl You might try using hashtags. Very effective in Mastodon. Both in filters and in searches.

     @MetGitarenEnZo that is a good suggestion, but it is not very convenient for two reasons:

     1. Quite many of my posts use all 500 characters, and unfortunately hashtags are part of the count.

     2. It would require me to add a politics hashtag manually every time I post which is not convenient. Of course this point could be solved if my app could do this automatically.

     @randahl @BeAware i had a self hosting user report one of my accounts since he did not like what i was posting and that it was partially done via a scheduling service

     i was able to get my account back, but this entitled attitude of some users on Mastodon is problematic
