Users need to feel safe when using the Snip platform. Therefore, along with choosing their preferred news feed personalization algorithm, users can add their own rules to filter out content that they prefer not to see. For example, users may choose not to view content they believe to be fake news, or content deemed to be of poor quality by community members they trust. This can be done in a few ways::
1. Blocking posts or comments from specific users.
2. Blocking specific words (or word groups) from appearing in the personal newsfeed or notifications.
3. Choosing a spam filter - users can choose their own spam filter (or no filter at all), in the same manner as the personalization algorithm.
By default, these filters are not public so that each user’s privacy is protected. Of course, users can choose to share these filters publicly if they want, allowing others to utilize them
