Don't like CATS or all those cat photos that some of us keep plastering all over the #Fediverse?
Fear not, as Mastodon has built in FILTERS -- and all it takes is to configure one or more to get rid of pesky posts.
As a local moderator, I feel compelled to explain and share this with you - so you can hide all these pesky photos which I am particularly fond of, as are many, but maybe not everyone.
So, what to Do?
1. Click on the Gear icon, to visit the "Preferences" area of Mastodon.
2. Navigate down to the "Filters" menu item (see it on screenshot, on the left side).
3. And here you can configure *ANY filters you like*, based on a piece of Text to search for in fediverse posts.
To hide all the Cat maniac photos, I would suggest using something similar to the hash tags I normally use: #cats #mastocats #catsofMastodon #meow #xp
Enter that, or any other expression to search for in the proper line, see screenshot #1.
4. Hit the Save button and the filter will be saved and in effect from now on. See screenshot #2.
You have the options of "Delete" or "Edit" the filter later, if you change your mind, or if the poster changes their offending post routine.
** GREAT way to get rid of mindless Twitter reposts which some people hate -- I recommended that at another instance that had some Really BAD cases like that, and got many thanks from relieved users. 😜
Any questions, please ask.
Love Cats? Post some, boost some, thank you! 😺

We thought that Big Brother will care about our freedom.
Well, all he cares about is not allowing the croud to move anywhere it mustn't.
Orwell was mistaken a bit, I think.

Yesterday was an International Cosmonautics Day.
This day usually means a science supremacy beneath the humankind.
Man in space was a symbol of future. A symbol of a free mankind.
Today I see some obscurantists, that do not believe in #COVID-19 at all.
We had lost that chance we are hardy in need for another one.
