Useful idea and filtering to exclude topics

Some cool uses for this: - Remove AI and Crypto from HN https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+all-ai-cryptocurrency - Don't miss any Lisp news https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+emacs+lisp
kirubakaran on HNI like the idea here, but content isn’t getting tagged in quite enough detail to make it useful for me personally (yet). I would LOVE the ability to exclude all Twitter and Tesla…

Requests
Add company, industry and country tags
From 1 comment

Crowdsourced or user-written tags
From 1 comment
I would prefer to have crowdsourced user-written tags instead of AI. That would let us make genuinely useful tags, like "author is an ignoramus" or "article takes ten pages to…

Exclude tags in the browser extension

I'd love to see the full list. Also, is there a way to filter posts using the chrome extension to exclude some tags?
