The claim is a major departure for the service, which has long been known as a destination for posting short snippets of text.

    Will try now and report back!

    Edit: it’s good. It blurs out text. Sadly not images!

      It blocks these:

      Block List

      • Steve Ballmer
      • Jeff Bezos
      • Michael Bloomberg
      • Sergey Brin
      • Warren Buffett
      • Larry Ellison
      • Bill Gates
      • Kanye “Ye” West
      • Elon Musk
      • Larry Page
      • Donald Trump
      • Mark Zuckerberg

      Immediate observation: really cool, also blocks comments about Elon Musk (including my own lol) Sadly doesn’t block images

        Does it block the word “Musk”? Is it case-sensitive? Honestly curious, especially since some of these last names can refer to either the person or a noun.

          It does not block “Musk” or “Elon” when they aren’t in the same sentence It seems to block “musk” or “elon” or “elon musk” in lowercase.

          One problem I noticed is that it slows down the loading of other pages, like Protonmail via the browser, so I had to disable it for some web pages. I don’t think you can individually disable it for certain pages though, so I’d have to turn it on/off.

          One awesome feature that I’d like to see them ad is allowing custom names. I don’t only dislike Elon Musk, but also Taylor Swift and all the other rich people who make it into my news and my brain every single day on every single news outlet… If it’s not about world economy, there really isn’t a reason why Taylor Swift would be on Reuters. There is no reason at all for Elon Musk to be on the news, and when the news is about the lives he ruined, they should put a picture of THEM up, not of his shitty face.

          What ever would we do without updates on technological marvels such as:

          • Fraudulent car
          • Fraudulent train
          • Low-poly cosplay truck
          • Animal abuse brain microchip
          • Kepler syndrome ISP
          • Self-destructing rocket to mars
          • Social media for Nazis?

            The car is fine, and honestly the software is too, it’s the label that’s the problem. It’s like if Tesla had invented the first really good cough medicine but named it “Death Cure Resurrection Elixir (and cough preventative)” and they have this mustache twirling clown villain selling it.

            I don’t blame anyone for completely disregarding it as fraud.
