X Reply Janitor

Hide spammy bot replies on X/Twitter. Local rules, no X API, no tracking.

X Reply Janitor is an open-source browser extension for people who are tired of bot-like replies under X/Twitter posts: short bait comments, random handles, @ mention funnels, adult-service spam, fake contact brokers, and repeated copy-paste templates.

The extension runs entirely in your browser. It reads only the visible page, scores replies with transparent local rules, and hides or folds likely spam. It does not call the X API, ask for your X account, collect analytics, or send tweet content to any server.

中文：这是一个专门屏蔽 X/Twitter 机器人回复的浏览器扩展。它本地运行、不开后门、不上传内容，适合被推荐给想清理 X 回复区的人。

Why This Project Exists

X/Twitter replies are increasingly filled with low-effort bot comments that look like:

• short Chinese bait text plus an @handle
• “点我头像 / 主页能打 / 联系人 / 靠谱对接” style hooks
• adult-service or off-platform contact spam
• random-looking usernames with digits and underscores
• repeated templates posted under unrelated tweets

This project focuses on that problem directly: blocking bot replies on X without requiring account access or a remote moderation service.

Features

• Blocks bot-like X/Twitter replies with local scoring rules.
• Works on x.com and twitter.com.
• Defaults to filtering reply threads, not your whole timeline.
• Choose collapse, hide, or dim mode.
• Popup controls for strength, rescan, and restore.
• Whitelist trusted accounts.
• Add custom keywords or JavaScript regex rules.
• No telemetry, no remote calls, no X API token.
• MIT licensed and easy to fork.

Limitations

This is a rule-based filter, not a perfect classifier. It is designed to catch common bot reply patterns while keeping false positives recoverable. If a spam template gets through, add it to custom rules or open an issue.
