Well, it was short-lived fun, my post already disappeared from the front page, haha. Anyway!

Mhh, good point, probably, but this runs in the global context, so I guess the browser will clean up for me anyway when you close the tab? haha

Yes!

No, the custom filter scopes it to stacker.news

First time I’ve seen someone do that!

Wow, impressive use of ChatGPT

No worries!!! I hope you can read JavaScript though, because you shouldn't trust me haha

I just learned that Shield allows you to run custom scriplets!

So if you save this as a custom scriptlet at brave://settings/shields/filters:

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    function removeCollapsedComments() {
        document.querySelectorAll('div[class*="comment_collapsed"]')
            .forEach(node => {
                if (node.textContent.startsWith("reply from someone you muted")) node.remove()
            }
        )
    }

    // Run on initial page load
    removeCollapsedComments();

    // Watch for dynamically loaded content
    const observer = new MutationObserver(removeCollapsedComments);
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });    
})

and then save this custom filter:

stacker.news##+js(user-stackernews.js)

it also works!

Are you running it? Maybe I should make a post about it and upload it as a GitHub Gist for easy installation

It doesn't solve the downzap problem though

I also need to figure out how to run this on iOS, if there's a way at all

Thank you for your service

oh really? it's the only time I remember haha

aww

I’m still making memes though

lol, this is what you remember me for? nice

I just saw this thumbnail and had to meme it:

@niftynei, if you haven’t already, you have achieved meme status

Userscript to never see reply from someone you muted again:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Stacker News - Remove Muted Comments
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Remove muted comments instead of showing 'reply from someone you muted'
// @author       ekzyis
// @match        https://stacker.news/*
// @grant        none
// @run-at       document-idle
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    function removeCollapsedComments() {
        document.querySelectorAll('div[class*="comment_collapsed"]')
            .forEach(node => {
                if (node.textContent.startsWith("reply from someone you muted")) node.remove()
            }
        )
    }

    // Run on initial page load
    removeCollapsedComments();

    // Watch for dynamically loaded content
    const observer = new MutationObserver(removeCollapsedComments);
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
})();

Oh, it’s just that I forgot to prepare by reading the questions I was sent beforehand that might come up. And even the few things I had prepared to say, I didn’t end up saying them.

I actually had suggestions for NWC, but when it was time to share them, I only said something like, “I can’t imagine anything better than NWC,” lol. That was basically a cowardly lie, because I felt so unprepared.

That’s all. In my mind, I could have done so much better, but thanks for saying it wasn’t embarrassing!

I think my talk was pretty good, but from memory, I really embarrassed myself here

Oh well, it was my first panel, so whatevs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wow, thanks for sharing
