github-less-social: Filter list to make GitHub less like a social media platform ( sr.ht )
I find this really useful since it hides most of the ads and other annoyances GitHub has now. Luckily I don’t really use GitHub that much but when I’m forced to interact with it, this makes it more pleasant experience.
