This is the first time I’ve wished to put a tag on a blacklist. 😕👨🏻‍🦳

I don’t follow any specific tags, just enjoy reading across all topics that people post.

If you follow a tag and then give it “negative weight” in your dashboard it will help hide this. We’ll have better blacklist tooling in the future

Didn’t know that, thanks!

Yeah, for anyone else that's curious: If you go to dev.to/dashboard/following and give a tag a number like -100 for weight, it will virtually never show up in your feed. The mechanic of first following and then negative is weird and we'll eventually make it more intuitive and discoverable.

Can you call it z-index? Or is this a bad place for a css joke?
