It is really sad and unfortunate that coding has started falling under the omnicause. Low-denominator discourse is invading every space I find interesting and it is difficult to avoid.

But definitely the one thing these things aren't are big flashy announcement. To be honest, this kind of post-truth environment where people just make up things about people they don't like are super-lame. I've generally been able to deal with it by kill-filing people who post falsehoods but the number of users who do is getting so extraordinarily large I am starting to believe that I need to auto-hide anyone who created an account in the last 10 years.
But tbh this is trivial to write these days since the boilerplate can be written by the machines and you can just write the core functionality to make it work. I only have it public because I'm hoping others will also block users who misinform as a habit and I can subscribe to their lists and crib off their work without having to do it myself.
If you want to save yourself the first 15 min of prompting, just point Claude Code at this https://github.com/TechnologyBrotherhood/overmod-extension and ask it to implement the local blocking functionality.
I separate mine by a bunch of categories which might be a bit complicated, but I was hoping perhaps people might not care about some of the categories https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Overmod#My_Stuff
e.g. I don't like endless repetitious "but corporations" stuff and I also don't like "but they sell your data" repetitively but maybe others want to block category A but not category B.
I think that wasn't a sound idea, though. Either people trust you to block for them as well or they don't.
