A mechanism to skip/exclude posts? #22

Open perlancar opened 8 years ago

perlancar commented 8 years ago

It'd be nice if there is a mechanism to skip/exclude posts from being picked up. In my case, I'm planning to post a series of several short blog posts like https://perlancar.wordpress.com/2016/02/14/lcpan-tips-001-doc/ that I prefer not showing up and spamming the /r/perl feed. Perhaps if one add a tag/category of skip-perly-bot or something?

I've just suggested something similar for the Ironman feed http://ironman.enlightenedperl.org/

We've been re-arranging the code to make this sort of thing possible but we're not quite there yet. I've moved a lot of stuff around so we can subclass the right things to have source-specific logic (which means we could respond to any signal you wanted to send). I think I might be able to do this as soon as next week.

Tell us a tag that you'll like to use and we'll skip those posts. We'll skip 'no-perlybot' tag for everyone once I get this done.
