NAME
hfcs - honk filtering and censorship system

DESCRIPTION
The honk filtering and censorship system, hfcs, controls what messages are seen and how they are presented to the user. Filter rules are based on a series of matches and actions. It is accessed via the filters menu item.

Each filter has an optional name and notes for user defined purposes.

The following match types are possible. All nonempty criteria must match.

who Match an actor or domain name. Matches against actor property.

    Previous match is applied against to and cc fields as well.

    Regular expression match against the post content.

    Don't include images or attachments.

hide
    Remove this message from most feeds.

collapse
    Show only a short summary with click to view content.

rewrite
    Rewrite message content, using replace replacement text.

The text and rewrite fields are case insensitive word anchored regular expressions. Specifically, an argument ‘re’ will be automatically rewritten as ‘\’. The replace text may refer to submatches using $1, etc.

A post marked sensitive that does not otherwise contain a summary will have an invisible summary of “unspecified horror” that can be matched against and will appear if the post is collapsed.

An optional expiration may be specified as a duration. XdYhZm for X days, Y hours, and Z minutes.
