How do I mute/block annoying hashtags? I went into my settings menu and filtered out #AnnoyingPhrase should I not have used the #? Is there something else I should do? @fediverse

    Annoying hashtags are legion. Since they’re supposed to entice, which #AnnoyingPhrase doesn’t do, it’s unlikely to have an effect if you filter it.

    I use the whack-a-mole approach, and deal individually with each type of annoying hashtag as it shows up. Some generic types can wipe out whole swathes of posts you don’t want to see.

    I’d suggest a few hashtags, but I don’t know what annoys you.
