Blind is one of the most popular communities for professionals, which can make it easy to get career advice, evaluate a company before accepting a job offer, or feel more connected to what’s happening at your company. But we understand some of the activity can also make finding what you’re looking for harder. Now, you can make sure you don’t miss anything by personalizing your feed by hiding or “muting” certain words or phrases. Here’s how to mute on Blind: 1. Tap My Page from the menu at the bottom of the Blind app. (Muting on the web will come soon.) 2. Tap Mute Keywords. 3. Type the keyword in the box. Each keyword needs to be entered separately. You can also mute multiple words or phrases, like “Acme Corporation” or “do re mi.” For the best experience, we recommend being as specific as you can. Mutes are exact matches (except capitalization), so if you mute “Blind,” you’ll still see “blinds” or “Blinder.” But you won’t see articles with “blind.” Don’t worry! You can still see articles with a muted keyword or phrase when you search. Plus, we’ll ask you to confirm if you type in a common keyword or phrase, which would remove too much content from your feed before you mute. If you change your mind about a muted keyword or phrase later, you can delete it from the Mute Keywords page.
Great work, Blind team! I was actually requesting this feature a while back, and it’s amazing to see it actually implemented. Continue the excellent work; I love Blind and hope to continue using the platform for years to come. 🫡🐐 TC: 105K
finally!!
thanks, blind!
Can you also make a list of keywords from all Indian posts?
Also all the racist posts/comments like yours + all the Israel Palestine bullshit + the LGBTQ trash + Trump Biden shit + Ukraine Russia idiocracy + all the religious bullshit especially the abrahamic ones + all the posts people stole from reddit + the over exaggeration of situations/TCs/work/woke shit
India, Indian, Desi, H1B
Thank you, Blind. Next, could you please reinstate the 5x/ month profile name changes and DMs for those inexplicably banned once? Allowing profile name changes only 1x/ month and permanently disallowing free DM initiation due to some random ban, is very unfair. If nothing else, at least give users the option to appeal such bans.
They allowed one name change per Day recently, did they not? From 5 increased to 30. I remember them promoting it.
I know daily name changes were originally possible. Then, they had reduced it to 5x/ month. I am not sure if they reverted it back. If, so, great. Unfortunately, for those randomly banned, it's 1x/ month, which is painful.
TLDR: it’s possible to turn off the endless trash posts on Palestine/Israel. Awesome!
How can I post with my employer anonymized? For some things it would be great to not doxx oneself.
Nope. But that would be a legit scenario. I’ve wanted to ask questions in the past regarding specific companies in specific locations, and there was no way to do so without making my identity obvious and risking my current role (at that time).
AFAIK I’m the only one from our company still active on blind 😢
I tried to mute all those Israel Palestinian Hamas Zionist bull shit keywords and those pricks are still finding creative ways to go through them. I think the only things going forward is to block them from now on. Usually the same typical offenders anyways.
Can we tag incels so we can stop seeing all those whiny posts that start popping up on Fridays like clockwork?
That is nice. Can one block post from certain country?
+10000. India
Lol. Micro, which country
