@jplebreton @darius I've often thought it would be neat to have a kind of "parameterized follow" where you can see everything an account posts *except* for ... say, things that match a certain string, or self-boosts, or only letting thru 50% of the posts, or delaying all posts by 6 months, or something.

I've wondered how hard it would be to do this as a bot; point it at an account and set the parameters. it's somewhere on my project stack but not near the top.

@technomancy @darius i could imagine per-followed-account "throttle" settings being useful. "show me no more than X posts by this person per hour/day", "don't show me posts by this person that contain these words", "only show me posts by this person above/below a certain engagement threshold", etc.

@jplebreton @darius yeah. the problem with implementing this as a bot that boosts the original posts is that the subject account would get tired of the notifications *really* quickly
