It works. Just wish there was some indicator showing that worked! Something like "Filtered: 8 Sources, 17 Titles, 2 Members"

Hi! That's a good suggestion, thank you. I'll see what can be done.

Alright, a new version is up: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/427213-hn-blacklist - r###lts will display at the bottom of the page.

Bravo, excellent work - IT WORKS! Thanks so much for the update.

I do got a filter that I think can't work (and it doesn't) but perhaps the script was/isn't designed for it...

I want to filter ALL Substack instances. Thing is, all substack entries are in format of joeschmoe.substack.com. Right now a generic filter of source:substack.com will never flag those.

I'm not really asking for that broad functionality; just want to confirm with you that, yeah that's indeed a limitation. (I can work with blocking specific, most-egregious substack posters.)

Ah yep, that is a limitation, but let me see what I can do about it.

Alright, I finally got to this. The new release supports basic pattern matching for source filtering.

Here are the rules:

• source:*substack.com will filter any domains that end with the string substack.com
• source:google* will filter any domains that start with google (i.e. google.com, google.net)
• source:*yahoo* will filter any domains that contain the string yahoo
• More than two * are not allowed, and * must appear at the beginning or end of the string

Bravo and thank-you again, you're spectacular!

Funny update: I follow a public-facing industry professional and about 2 weeks ago he announced that he's no longer using Twitter or tiktok (thank god) and moving his current stuff and in future will use...{wait for it}... Substack! So I won't be using source:*substack.com after all, but instead joeschmoe.substack.com

You're welcome! That's a funny turn of events. If you want, I've just added a feature to address your use case in the latest release (3.2.0):

If you add source:!user-you-follow.substack.com to the entry list, it will prevent user-you-follow.substack.com from getting blacklisted, regardless of what other source: entries you add. Just put a leading ! in the entry, right after source:.

Sensational! I'll give Substack a reprieve, lol - for now. But I'll certainly use this for other sources. Thanks again!

No problem!
