if you want to exclude nested file systems like that,
you could try:
alias df='df -x squashfs'
On my Fedora 30 workstation that option doesn't make any difference.
Regardless of whether '-x squashfs' is used, I see this output from 'df':

and most of these lines are useless.
For many years we've put up with the problem of too many filesystems in
the default plain 'df' output, and now's as good a time as any to fix
that. On my workstation there should be only four lines of information,
one each for /, /home, /boot, and the shared tmpfs area.
Presumably readonly filesystems should also be omitted by default, since
they're not something people ordinarily care about.
We can add a flag or two for the rare people who want to see these
normally-useless lines.
