Have they removed the 200 muted word limit? Or at least implemented word stemming?

This feature, besides being hidden, always felt unreasonably crippled to me. And they banned third party clients that might be able to implement it better.

I gave up on Twitter as a platform because Twitter Inc. refused to give me enough control over my feed. (This applies to banned accounts as well - I would have liked the ability to judge for myself, rather than have an overworked, outsourced, minimum wage moderator decide for me.)

Replying to myself because maybe there's a startup idea in the above comment: convince one or more of the the big social platforms to let users opt out of default moderation, and "subscribe" to thirdy party moderation. (Moderation-as-a-Service?)

This would open up a market similar to how you can use different spam reputation services with email, or different blocklists with ad filters.

It would also take the wind out of the sails of people blasting the social media companies for over- or under-moderation. Don't like what's being censored? Hire a different set of censors.
