Can I hide all red- and blue-boxed posts?

Seems that a huge percentage of posts are either just tweets or videos, and sometimes I just don't want to see either, but they occupy most of the forums.

It'd be nice if there was an easy way to filter those out. Years ago, I thought having the little colored indicator icon would be enough, but now I'm spoiled and also want a way to yeet them en masse.

Any thoughts?

You could probably make most of the red ones go away at least, by trashing the “Cable News Clips” and “Liberal YouTubers” forums. It wouldn’t get rid of everything, but it would get rid of a lot, since those forums are where most of the videos are posted.

To do this, go to each forum and click the “Trash forum” button near the top.

I had thought of something like that, but instead went to the "Videos" link, where of course that option does not exist. I didn't yet think about those individual forums, although I think lots of vids are also in GD.

Thanks Earl.
