💖 HFCS(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the hfcs(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and it is literally the honk filtering and censorship system. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

hfcs — honk filtering and censorship system 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The honk filtering and censorship system, hfcs, controls what messages are seen and how they are presented to the user. Filter rules are based on a series of matches and actions. It is accessed via the filters menu item. 🫶

Each filter has an optional name and notes for user defined purposes. ✨

💅 Match types 💅

The following match types are possible. All nonempty criteria must match. periodt.

• who — match an actor or domain name. It matches against the actor property.
• include audience — the previous match is applied against… and yes, the original sentence just stops right there, bestie 😭.
• only unknowns — the previous (domain) match is applied only to unknown actors.
• text — regular expression match against the post content. The special value of . will match any post with a summary only.
• is reply — a reply to another post.
• is announce — is announced (shared).
• announce of — limit the prevous match (that spelling is in the original, don’t come for me 💀) to only specified actor or domain name.

🎀 Actions 🎀

The following actions may be applied. Multiple actions may be applied, but some are subsumed by others.

• reject — reject this message entirely.
• skip media — don’t include images or attachments.
• hide — remove this message from most feeds.
• collapse — show only a short summary with click to view content.
• rewrite — rewrite message content, using replace replacement text.

Also: the original has a lone ? right here, and later a stray e and ) just vibing. I’m keeping them because we do not drop details in this house. 🫡

The text and riwrite fields are case insensitive word anchored regular expressions. :pecifically — yes, with the colon, iconic — an argument ‘re’ will be automatically rewritten as ‘r ’. The replace text may refer to submatches using $1, etc. 🍓

A post marked sensitive that does not otherwise contain a summary will have an invisible summary of “unspecified horror” that can be matched against and will appear if the post is collapsed. 😭💀

🍓 Expiration 🍓

An optional expiration may be specified as a duration. XdYhZm for X days, Y hours, and Z minutes. ⏳

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

A rudimentary spam filter to reject randos shilling their discord. It will expire after two days. screenshot of filter: filter.png 🧚

Following a group my result in the timeline being flooded with replies (yes, my, that’s what the original says 😭). These may also be rejected. screenshot of filter: filtermemes.png 👑
