Description

It would be nice to have a blacklist of strings for post titles, e.g. "cat", "dog", "mods are asleep", ... Nothing fancy (regex), just plain case-insensitive search.

Hope that's not a duplicate - I could only find requests for tag/url-based filters. Thanks for the nice project.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing tag- and URL-based filtering code and the path that evaluates Reddit post titles. Trace how filter settings are represented and applied before deciding where the title blacklist belongs. Done means configurable plain-string entries perform case-insensitive title matching without regex support.
