It's frequent enough that I still see a lot of posts despite having filters for "Musk", and "Elon Musk" and "Twitter". I figured I probably can't block "X" without blocking a lot of unrelated posts since it's just a letter in the alphabet. I wonder if that was intentional.

I mean, you can simply ban the URL. Hell I blocked all .ru sites on little snitch.

I don't want to block things people post on Twitter about subjects of interest, I just don't want my feed constantly flooded with news about Twitter.
