I'd Like To Add The Feature Of Hiding Content Based On A Keyword Or Hashtag
While I love the decentralization of steemit and the ability for everyone to post without censorship, I believe each idividual user should be able to choose the types of content they wish to see.
In the picture above, I created a quick mockup of a syatem that allows you to turn off content you may find offensive or annoying
One feature would be to have a simple button you could click to turn on work mode that would hide content with keywords and hashtags that you would deem inappropriate for work. Instead of constantly turning a canned filter on and off, you could instead use a suggested guideline and tweak it to your own personal beliefs.
For example some people may find breastfeeding articles, videos and photographs completely harmless, but another user could choose to hide the keyword breastfeeding and the (hashtag)breastfeeding tags.
This could also be used to prevent children under a certain age from seeing content that a parent may disapprove of, while still allowing them to participate in the the steemit platform
I also feel the #NSFW content here is treated unfairly and has to be searched for. #NSFW content should be able to trend, but you would have the ability not to see it if you were to choose that for yourself.
To click a button to toggle between work and home content you wish to see would make it much easier browse safely in places that monitor your browsing.
Not only will this hide content that may offend you, but if you are tired of seeing (hashtag)pokemongo then you could add it to the list of content you wish to hide
@thedashguy proposed mini-feeds here --- Can we get some sort of "multi-feed" concept please?
I think the same sort of keyword/hashtag feed should be allowed to be created. If you love photography and cars, why not allow the user to create a feed that sorts those two categories in one place based on popularity, or time etc like the follow feed does
Like most of my posts, I encourage thoughtful feedback, but if all you are going to write is "great post" with nothing else, I ask that you refrain. If you want to like the post but have nothing to say that adds to the conversation please only upvote. But if you can critique or give your own insight into my proposal, please weigh in and hopefully many great minds will help to form a consensus
