Proposal: Ability to disable all or some site taglines (hexbear.net)

I do not enjoy seeing ignoramuses' several-paragraph-long rants about "tankies" when checking the front page. Ideally, it would be possible to disable only that type of tagline, while leaving other taglines be.

I don't know if other people have already proposed this โ€” I can't imagine I'm alone in feeling this way, but I also can't easily find anyone else who's made this suggestion.

TIL that GitHub search only indexes the main branch! Didn't need it this time because you told me what branch to look in, but now I know how to efficiently search across branches for future reference thanks to this StackOverflow post; for instance, I could have found the file I was looking for using the following command

# Search all files and folders in all remote branches
git branch -r | awk '{print $NF}' \
    | xargs -P "$(nproc)" -I {} git --no-pager grep -n 'setupTagline' {}

Here's the relevant file, if anyone's curious:
