Just found out about EFF and I'm very glad it exists:

"The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. We work to ensure that rights and freedoms are enhanced and protected as our use of technology grows."

Mastodon absolutely needs a way to absolutely mute #hashtags. People are starting to toot about sportsball and it annoys the hell out of me that I cannot mute these toots, because I am, in absolutely no way, interested in seeing those ever.

And basically, regex text filtering is necessary as well. I'm afraid though this will only be possible with proper API client applications.
