A filter for bots as well as support for Mastodons filters feature is planned for the future. Filtering media and CWs doesn't make much sense in my opinion,especially because CWs are used for great posts without the need of a CW most times. This filter would have so many false-positives. And the filter which is planned won't be temporary nut a permanent setting in the settings menu. Sure,you can modify you settings whenever you won't but I don't believe in filters like "Filter bots for only this session" or "Filter bots within the next 24 hours". That could make sense for people you're angry about but want to see them again in future but in this case it's a server side feature,no client side filtering.
