Feature: hide users with NFT profile pics

[jarcane]

Better TweetDeck has rolled out a feature to hide accounts with the new NFT avatars from Twitter Blue: https://twitter.com/BetterTDeck/status/1484233899920150529/photo/1

It would be really great to have this function in TNT as well.

I'd be happy to assist in the implementation. I would open a PR but I'm not familiar with TNT's codebase 😛

I've not seen one in my timeline yet - I'd need a timeline full of it to test this properly, and I really don't want to follow any crypto shills 😞

To do this you'd need to add a new boolean config option (example commit which shows adding a new option: https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter/commit/0128ef77c493dcad2ee1bc68757430c191cd8151)

Then you'd need to check if the new option is enabled prior to this line: https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter/blob/8ce1d91678cfe2726be8b02bbd209e32834a092a/tweak-new-twitter.user.js#L2240

If the option is enabled, to check if the tweet contains an NFT avatar you'd do something like this:

let hasNftAvatar = Boolean($tweet.querySelector('a[role="link"] > div[style^="clip-path: url(\\"#hex-hw-shapeclip-clipconfig\\")"]'))

If the tweet contains an NFT avatar, you can then set hideItem = true directly as we know we're going to hide it without ever checking what type it is, otherwise fall back to the line linked above.

The existing code should then handle things like also hiding tweets of non-NFT avatars replying to an NFT avatar.

you can probably just open a search on the NewNFTProfilePic hashtag to test this, at least that's how I have been doing it for BTD 😁

On second thoughts, this is a bit too niche for Tweak New Twitter - I rarely see these things any more
