In settings you can block or mute (for certain time periods) words or tags. You can also give an exception gift accounts that you follow. So if Legacy posts the acronym you would see it.

Try Bluesky moderation menu in settings and select “muted words and tags.”

Lots of options to not see posts based on a word or hashtag. You can even allow ones from people you follow so you get less hashtag crossover.

Met lots of Democratic voters at the door today and there was a lot of energy to make sure we don’t bring the chaos and extremism of the national GOP down to this local level.
