I need a filter for my own posts. For instance, I could set a filter for "uspol", and then every time I compose a toot with that in it and hit "Publish!", it ill be dutifully placed on my timelines so only I can see it but otherwise it is not actually sent anywhere else. And not even visible publicly or in rss feeds.
Actually, if it didn't even show up in my timeline it would be fine too. Just send that stuff to /dev/null, mx. computer. Save me the effort of filtering myself.

TL;DR: iOS Safari is more than an inconvenience for developers, it's the fundamental reason interoperability has been stymied in mobile ecosystems; frequent showstopping bugs, a large patch gap, and lack of competing engines ensures the web is not a credible competitor to native. Here are the receipts to prove it.

This leads to a constant background noise of just rancid replies that are all phrased in a superficially "nice" tone.
Justified anger and non-diplomatic push-back however is heavily policed and dismissed as "bad habits" brought over from elsewhere.
Unless this fundamentally changes, it will never be a place that's safe for marginalized people who have to stand up for themselves and face a constant stream of condescension, dismissiveness, and outright hostility.
A lot of the time it absolutely does live up to its reputation as a place where middle aged white cis men tell you how your perspective and expertise don't matter, and where you better watch your mouth when talking back to them.
