This article is your guide to reclaiming your X experience. We'll reveal simple steps to filter out adult content, ensuring a safe and enjoyable browsing experience. Say goodbye to unwanted surprises and hello to a customized X feed that reflects your interests!

It's true that nowadays, it's almost too easy to come across adult content, often without even trying. However, for some people, like me, who want to keep such content hidden and maintain a filtered social network, this is very important. Here are some ways to help ensure you encounter this type of content as little as possible and keep your X feed free from it.

 

1. Report Posts:

   - Click on the three-dot menu at the top right of the post.

 

  - Choose "Report Post" and select "Spam" or another appropriate reason (Abuse and Harassment, Sensitive or Disturbing Media).

 

 

   - Submit the report and choose to mute or block the user.

 

2. Enable the Sensitive Content Filter:

   - Open X in a browser, go to "Settings and Privacy" under your profile icon.

 

   - Select "Privacy and Safety," then "Content You See."

 

 


 

   - Uncheck "Display media that may contain sensitive content."

 

   - Enable "Hide sensitive content" in the search settings.

 

 

3. Set Your Account as Under 18:

   - Do not enter a birth date or set a birth date that places you under 18 when setting up the account.

   - X will consider you a minor and try to prevent you from seeing adult content.

 

4. Mute Suggestive Words:

   - Go to "Settings and Support," then "Privacy and Safety," and open "Mute and Block."

 

   - Manage your "Muted Words" and add suggestive terms.

   - Choose whether to apply the mute to everyone or only people you don't follow, and set the duration.

 

5. Use a Parental Control or Porn Blocking App:

   - Since block lists are no longer supported, external apps like Canopy can be used.

  - These apps use algorithms to censor offending images in real time and require high-level permissions.

 

Although these methods are not perfect and their effectiveness varies, they can help limit exposure to adult content on your X feed. Enjoy your browsing without explicit content!
