Although, tags are text inputs in the end, so it could be a bit tedious to set. For example, you might exclude "#javascript" (not suggesting you should) and still get "#js" 😈.
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
However, us admin also have a cool feature available called tag aliasing. The way this works, is it allows us to connect two tags together, so if we alias "#js" to "#javascript" then posting under #js actually moves the post under #javascript. Another cool effect this has is that trying to navigate to the landing page of dev.to/t/js will actually bring you to dev.to/t/javascript.
All this to say, I believe that if you anti-follow #js you are also anti-following #javascript. I'll make sure a dev on the team double checks this logic though for us! To be clear, I'm not a developer, but a community manager. 🙂
