    Please include the name in posts with this orange Hitler wannabe. He’s on my block list because I can’t stand seeing that goddamn fake tan face anymore.

      I ran into the same problem with my Elon Musk filter when people started calling him Elmo in the headlines. I added Elmo to the list, but who knows how many important updates about the lovable muppet Elmo I missed out on?

        I think we will find it increasingly difficult to filter out these people in the future. The reason is understandable: US citizens fear that they will be persecuted as dissidents if they post negative things about the regime and their henchmen. I think this fear is completely justified, as the US is now essentially already a dictatorship with all the associated mechanisms of repression. Therefore, I’m afraid, we will have to accept that simply adding names to the block list is no longer sufficient.
