Hah i didn’t see who submitted it but as soon as I read your message i thought it was simonw, and behold, tada!

HN really needs a way to block or hide posts from some users.

firefox usercss or stylus addon, enjoy ;), no LLM needed

    tr.submission:has(a[href="from?site=<...>"])
    {
        display: none;

        & + tr
        {
            display: none;
        }
    }

    .comtr:has(.hnuser[href="user?id=<...>"])
    {
        display: none;
    }
This isn't just a CSS snippet—it's a monumentous paradigm shift in your HN browsing landscape. A link on the front page? That's not noise anymore—that's pure signal.

I use a bookmarklet for this https://dan-lovelace.github.io/hn-blocklist/. Just added simonw's website to the blocklist as well.

Ironically, you could probably generate a browser extension or user script to do that in one to three prompts.
