Thank you for your understanding.)
Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am starting to learn about opera, with my main focus being singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to the change in singing style that began roughly in the 1950's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am happily childfree and am not religious. My main goal in life is simply to enjoy it, and have fun learning new things along the way. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me.
Please note. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism or world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), and will not add those who do, as I don't want it filling my timelines. While I am interested in technology to an extent (particularly website accessibility), I am not a programmer or gamer, do not use Linux,and don't care what social network you use. I tend to get along better with people much older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, etc. so if you need help with that, I'm not the one to ask. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, animals and nature, antiques, and interesting facts and life stories.
You can also find me on Dreamwidth. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •These are the words I've included, minus the obscenities. I didn't want to include things such as revolution, class, or resistance, because I might miss things about records spinning at 33 revolutions per minute, or baking class, or the resistance of a key as you press it. But if I am missing any, please let me know. Most of these are geared toward the political left, but rest assured, if I saw lots of post from the extreme right, I would definitely add their vocabulary, too. Fortunately, I haven't seen them. I also only saw one religious person, and he was at least respectful.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •I guess your browser expands all posts?
The comment where you listed all the words that you block got collapsed for me:
in my case, I got a "Filtered word: Trump", directly followed by a "Reveal/hide" toggle button.
Unfortunately, I haven't found an option to completely remove specific postings - only "completely block/ignore this profile", which is also a one-at-a-time thingie ...

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • • •@Georgiana Brummell This really sounds like filters are purely cosmetic on Friendica and built into the frontend, so if you use a different frontend, it bypasses the filters. I mean, NSFW is of course built into the frontend, but I'm surprised about the actual filters.
I would have expected Friendica's filters to reject filtered posts, i.e. if you're the only one on your node who would receive a post or comment, but you filter it out, the entire node rejects it. That's how filters work on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte.
Anyway, I could suggest you a whole number of keywords that I use as hashtags in my posts and comments, so you're spared both from my Fediverse posts and from my virtual worlds posts. But there's a bit of a risk of "false positives", especially when I post about image descriptions.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •Instead of trying to block posts you could turn things around by creating a channel or multiple channels that allows content that you want to see. Go to Settings/Channel and then 'Add new entry to the channel list'. Now you can create a new channel that e.g include tags, excludes tags, from another channel or a certain circle and so on. This is pretty neat to fine tune your stream. As an example I created a Dutch channel (see image). It's not bullet proof but together with blocking certain persons or organizations it gets me pretty far.
However I'm not sure if TweeseCake does support this.
