You'll see a button called 'Trash Can.' Click that, and you'll be on the page where you can enter words to 'trash.'

When one of the trashed words is used in a post title, that post will not appear for you on any post list page, such as 'general discussions.'

FYI it only works on original post titles: the titles of replies within a post/thread are not impacted. It's still very useful.

Select Trash Can.

Then Auto-trash by keyword

Add or subtract keywords to trash.

Keywords in the OP's title will "disappear" it and its replies.

Disclaimers:

1. The home page ignores "ignore users" and trash by keyword.

2. The trashing does a substring match!
Trashing "rep" will trash republican, repair, preparation, and so on.
