Useful Twitter Mute Filters

Useful Mute Filters

This is a collection of useful (and useless) mute filters for Twitter. More will be added as I find them.

All are Regular Expressions unless otherwise noted

All have been tested in Tweetbot.

General Mute Filters

#Instagramers (Several Hashtags in a Row)

(?#Hashtag Fiends)(#\w+? ){3,}

Unwieldy Conversations

(?#Big Conversations)(@\w+? ){4,}

Weird Twitter

This is pretty impresise, but it works, if you really don't want to see weird Twitter.

(?#Weird Twitter)((\w\s){4,}|(?i)twitter dot com|(?-i)([A-Z0-9\s]{10,}[a-z0-9\s]{10,}|[a-z0-9\s]{10,}[A-Z0-9\s]{10,}))

Services

Usually it's better to do a client mute filter. However, if your client does not support it.

This is My Jam (not a regex)

is my new jam.  ♫

Unfollow Clients

General (not regexes)

Several are provided, the top being the least specific.
