a thing to make blocked tags completely hidden!
8 months ago
so! FA finally introduced a way to add tags to your blocklist, and OH MY GOSH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
...but there's one little quirk--images with a blocked tag still show up in galleries, they are just blurred out, with no option to hide them entirely! so i made a little script that lets you browse FA with these blurred images being completely hidden! and as someone who is asexual, and not super-into a lot of things pretty commonly loved in my circles (no shade to those things, of course!), having the ability to just turn off that part of the site has made it infinitely more comfortable for me--and i think this one change alone might mean i'll hang around a lot more now! (heck, i might even follow a few more people!)
but yeah! if anyone else wants to use my script, you can do that by
1) grabbing tampermonkey--which is an extension that lets you install/write little tweaks for sites! (chrome / firefox / firefox android / edge)
2) ...and then, from this page, if you click "raw" in the top right, you should be able to install my script!
on top of the hidden tag thing, there are actually a couple other tweaks, which you can just delete if you don't like:
- if you browse the gallery, and just sit there without navigating, it will show you new submissions every 20 minutes
- it also lets you set the default "type" you want the browse button to point to, which by default points to the new abdl section, but if you change that in the script (which you can do directly in tampermonkey), you can set that to any section you like!
- you can also hide users from galleries by adding their username to your tag blocklist!
i mostly wrote this for me, but hopefully others will find it useful as well! ^^

Thank you kindly. It's genuinely hard to stay sane using this website sometimes.
i'm glad you found it useful too!
and yeaaah--i heard that they didn't want to make it so a page that's completely filled with blocked content was just an empty page, which i admit might look a bit weird! but i personally don't really mind that quirk as long as i can better curate my own spaces~
Would it be alright if I shared the information about your add-on and link it in my journal? I think a lot of people would love your script if they knew it existed!
A question about the default browse type part: what's the syntax for setting something with spaces (e.g. Fat Furs)? I tried "#type=Fat Furs" and it just defaults to All.
i just pushed a new version where you can set the type to just "fat", or anything that matches any part of the section (case insensitively) you wanna land on by default!
