Please describe what you'd want to add to TwitterFOMO and why would you find it helpful. We should introduce a filter which would hide those tweets which are not related to webdev. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how to implement this. It should be as simple as possible and it doesn't need to be 100% correct. I'd lean towards a solution with very low false positivity (i. e. not flagging "on-topic" tweets as "off-topic"). High false negativity (i. e. not flagging "off-topic" as "off-topic) is acceptable.

This has been the most requested feature so far and I believe that implementing it is going to be a huge leap forward for this projects. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

An off the top of my head solution could be that users can flag a tweet as off-topic and the tweet will be hidden for other users when a tweet has been flagged x times. This would mean that tweets would not be hidden automatically at the start.

Maybe you could store tweets that were marked as off-topic so you could use that to train some ai to do it in the future.
