Is there a way in Mastodon to filter quote toots if they quote a toot which is filtered? I have fairly aggressive 'I don't want to see US politics' filters but things are still getting through because people are quoting toots (i.e. the original toot contains a filter word, so I don't see it, but the quote isn't filtered).
