Tell HN: Can someone build a proxy that removes all Musk news? Myb MuteMusk.com?

Simple build-it-yourself solution:

- Find a good RSS reader

- Add your favorite HN feeds via the unofficial RSS feed: https://hnrss.github.io/

- Block every article including 'Musk' or 'Elon'. Maybe throw in 'Twitter' for good measure too.

If you'd pay for this, I'd love to make it. It's legitimately effortless to set up.

It can be done with uBlock [0] writing custom filters though one would have to write a filter for each domain as the stylesheets differ.

Here is an example of how to do this on HN in about:addons -> uBlock Preferences -> uBlock My Filters tab

    # top (title / url)
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(musk|elon|twitter)/):upward(tr)
    # bottom (stats / comments)
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(musk|elon|twitter)/):upward(tr) + *

Or if you just want to replace text, there is the FoxReplace addon. [1] One could rename him to whatever brings a smile.

Did you shorten maybe to myb?
