    I just read news from my local news and thats it. I block all news on social media. It’s pretty good. News is boring again and it feels like I am more informed of what’s going on around me.

    Social media basically only surfaces the most extreme news and usually biases towards negative news.

    No one is gonna click/upvote an article on burger King revamping their food.



  • I figured out the cause. It’s because of the setting “match whole word”. Because brackets are considered a “word boundary” they cannot be within the match itself.

    Think of it like this: when match whole word is on, it will only start checking if something matches after it encounters a word.

    So let’s say you have the text “[brackets] are cool” and you are looking for “[brackets]” then the search only starts when it sees the “b” so it tries to match “brackets” to “[brackets]” which is obviously not equal so it will fail the match.

    The fix is to turn off “match whole word”. That setting should only be on for filters that contain a single word. I could look into adding a warning for cases like this.
