When I was on Mastodon, I followed a bunch of people for their tech expertise: FOSS, security, networking, Linux.

They also posted about other topics where I wasn't interested in their commentary. Even when I agreed, I still didn't want to see it, because I went to Mastodon solely for tech. I had other sources for other topics.

So I added a bunch of filters to exclude those posts. It worked well!
