Cause that's what I want to do with my free time... install plugins operated by... who knows... to filter out the blatant racism I don't even have to see if I just don't use the website.
But... I don't use social media, so maybe I'm not the one this would appeal to.

If you are okay with the default protections, closing that modal is one [x] away. If for some reason you want spam, then toggle it back on.
- jquery 5y ago> They would be toggled on in the app by default We could go a step further and ban the bad actors entirely so they don’t pollute the pool. Just allowing them in the feed introduces all kinds of engineering headaches. How are retweets handled? Replies? Etc. it would be a huge distraction to support the bad actors instead of removing them.

Retweets that originate from filtered tweets simply don't get included in the filtering person's feed. Same with replies. Engineering wise, these features should be peanuts for the HN crowd.
