many users - myself included - use wordfilters extensively to opt-out of certain sensitive topics / niche microcelebrity circles / etc. for mental health reasons.
this generally works well, but in some cases falls flat with posts leaking through.
a prominent example are memes related to the muted topic that have an empty or very short body the filter can't match.

since fedi has cultivated the habit of alt-texting everything, it would make sense to use that for discovering unwanted content.

i've been test-running this patch on cofe for a few days now and so far it majorly improved my experience.
would be cool to have it in the official FE as well.
