True, but the clients are still in their infancy. Liftoff has no support for it as far as I know. Meanwhile, I have the luck of running my own instance, so if the filter fixes it, that would be great.
When I still used Twitter, I was very glad to be able to filter out Trump, otherwise I'd see half a dozen tweets about him per day. We're kinda heading there with removed on Lemmy now, and I really don't even want to spend the mental energy it takes to ignore it.
Edit: meh. Using the slur filter just replaces "removed" with "removed". Time to investigate some other clients I guess.
