Tweetbot can use regular expressions to mute tweets in your timeline and mentions.

Raw

more-mute-regex.md

##Simply annoying Tweets

Annoyingly extended words (4+ of the same letter in a phrase): OOOOHHHHMMMMYYYYGGGGOOOODDDD

([a-z])/1{4}

Tweet w/ just a single hashtag: #omgthissucks

^ *#[^ ]+$

Not a regex, but self retweets: In case you missed it I pooped this morning :)

In case you missed it

##App Location Updates

Path app location updates: (at Location) - path.com/foo

(at [^ ]+/) — http://[^ ]+$

Foursquare app location updates: w/ @twittername 4sq.com/foo

w/ @[^@]+http://[^ ]+$

More Foursquare app location updates: w/ 8 others 4sq.com/foo

w/+[^#]+others http://[^ ]+$

Raw

Hashtag abuse

Three or more hashtags.

#[^#]+#[^#]+#

Long hashtags (15+ characters): #hashtagpunchline

#[^ ]{15}

CamelCase hashtags (3+ Words): #NotSelfAware

#[^a-z ]+[^A-Z ]+[^a-z ]+[^A-Z ]+[^a-z ]+[^ ]*

Painful to read

Unforgivable word shortening: I'm near ur place r u busy?

\sur\s
\sr\s
\su\s

Mass conversations (4+ Mentions): @guy @dude @otherguy @man totally.

@[^@]+@[^@]+@[^@]+@

Retweet chains (2+ RTs): OMG RT @teengirlsquad RT @beebz I'm thinking of you.

RT[^RT]+RT

Mentions with only a URL (spam): @imathis tinyurl.com/spam

^@imathis *https?://[^ ]+$

you can mute the foursquare client, no need to use regexps for foursquare

Akku commented Oct 21, 2012

Indeed, muting clients is awesome, just put all the crappy update stuff on the mute list and enjoy only real people. But still a nice list.

@myfreeweb yeah, I realized that after I wrote these. I hadn't used any of the Tweetbot mutting options before reading @imathis originals. Also, I'm bad at checking comments :)

mbbroberg commented Jul 2, 2013

Is this muting supposed to be usable in the Tweetbot for Mac product? I haven't found a way to get it to work. I'd love your help -- these are great regex.

Is there a way to mute specific things (in my case any instagram links) from one specific user?
