    Is this a whitelist or blacklist?

      Blacklist

  The only universal HN blacklist is the one where dead and flagged items aren't shown which is the default (you can still show the flagged items if you're logged in and set it in your preferences). Everything else is entirely personal preference. So there is no such thing as a "good filter list" in this context; it depends on your preferences. Example: One person is not interested in anything about Bitcoin, another person is not interested in anything about North Korea, and yet another person is not interested in Facebook. They wouldn't end up with the same blacklist. It seems to support normal regexp, so you gotta learn that if you don't know it. Other than that, I'd argue that whitelisting is going to take a lot more initial time and effort. Go with blacklisting instead, and compare with the real thing to see if you're missing out. Then reiterate ad nauseam...
