I would love to see something to exclude or ignore some patterns in titles or links.

I browse HN every day to read good tech posts and comments but I'm a very anxious person (especially these days of course) and seeing articles about death, cancers and other things make me start the day quite badly.

I know this is not a solution to ignore this, I should fight it, but I would gladly like to see (sub-)categories or tags on HN to browse wisely what I'm interesting in.

I view HN titles via RSS and filter out phrases with Feedly. It's better than a beta blocker for blood pressure control.

Thanks for the tip! I will check. I'm already on beta blockers, unfortunately.

I use a Chrome extension[0] that filters articles and comments by keyword. It's a bit coarse and something something group think but my sanity is preserved.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

I don't watch any network news and I'm much happier for it. Seeing lots of horrible stuff that you can't do anything about is not healthy. It's the same with bad stuff in your social media feeds.
