in which I am glad to be a programmer type

Huzzah! Now every post that contains "Automatically shipped by Loudtwitter" will be filtered out of my friendslist. It's not like I don't want to hear what you have to say; I just don't want to see a record of half of the conversations you had via Twitter with people I've never met, or hear that the office bathroom is out of toilet paper.

I request this code!

You need to have your own custom style to actually do this, sadly; otherwise you're stuck trying to convince said friend that their twittering should stay on Twitter, or dropping them from your default view.

This snippet assumes that the post object is in a variable called 'e', and lives at the top of the function that prints a post.

# abort entire function if this is just a twitspam post
if (($e.text->contains("Automatically shipped by")) and ($e.text->contains ("LoudTwitter")) ) {
return;
}

I wish there was a way on the other end to change the settings, so that I could filter an opt-in list for anyone curious about the Twitter stuff. I could set up custom friends-groups, but LoudTwitter in particular doesn't have an option to publish to that specific group only. It's...loud, in that sense.

Here is a dirty, nasty, disgusting Grease(Kit|Monkey) hack that seems to work for me. You will need to change it to suit other layouts unless they all wrap posts in <favorite_tag class="box">…</favorite_tag>. I don't know if you're a coder at all or not, so if you'd like me to modify it for your layout, just ask. :)

})()

Also, in practice, this removes any entries that contain links to "http://www.loudtwitter.com" exactly, but I doubt I care to read any post that does whether it's twitter copypasta or not. I tried finding the post by //ul[@class="loudtwitter" but if the entry is behind a cut then that falls down.

But but... triggur was just in there and...

Eh. I can't blame you.
