It'd be pretty sweet to allow us to put a list of domains we don't want to see links for in our preferences.

- prakash 18y agoI had asked for something similar a while back.
- neilc 18y agoWhy not just do it yourself via Greasemonkey? The bitching about xkcd is getting annoying (as is the constant speculation about "Is this the moment when HN is going to jump the shark?)
- brianlash 18y agoInteresting point, but that's a slippery slope away from a big community and toward a system of silos for those whose preferences closely match your own. I don't think that's what HN's about. The uncommon position of this site is that it's a diverse community of people with intermixing ideas and persuasions. Neat things happen when they work together (and when they argue). I'd be worried you'd lose a piece of that if HN started allowing users to establish their own filtering preferences, even if based on something as simple as domain blocking. For the record I did love this post. Was it news? No. But we stretch the definition of "hacker news" to include topical things all the time. Why not permit it here?
