    For any website that has some sort of search or filtering, a function to exclude items. A couple examples of this that have annoyed me enough to still remember them:

    • Trying to set a filter for every GPU with more than 12GB of RAM, excluding the 3060. I had to instead select like two dozen chipsets manually.

    • This is now fixed, but you didn’t used to be able to filter excluding game tags on Steam. This made more general tags useless, as people over-apply them. For example, CS2 Marvel Rivals, Black Desert, and DbD are all tagged as strategy games, so without the option to filter them out, it was way harder to browse.

    • On Lemmy, there doesn’t seem to be any search operators, nonetheless ‘-’. Given how useless the search already is, and the fact that nothing gets indexed on the major search engines, finding anything on Lemmy is impossible.
