I added a basic article filter

Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike.

This morning, I've updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains:

 
    
"blockedPhrases": [
    "couches",
    "vegan",
    "diet",
    "progressives",
    "save $",
    "astrology",
    "disney plus",
    "hulu",
    "apple deals",
    "prime day",
    "linoleic acid",
    "freedom caucus",
    "mental health",
    "laptop deals",
    "smart gadget",
    "and your money",
    "folding phones",
    "chatgpt"
]

  

If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.
