Tired of tweeting your insightful perspectives and hot takes, only to find an hour later that your thread is dominated by a wealth of bots and reply-people? Twitter has your back.
#Twitter has now placed restrictions on viewing tweets
Twitter Safety announced in a tweet that users can now limit who can reply to their tweets directly, even after they've been sent. Previously, users could only adjust their reply settings before sending a tweet.
In a photo showing the new feature, the new reply option will appear in the pop-up menu of the relevant tweet, alongside the usual options to pin a tweet, mute the conversation, add/remove messages from lists, and delete the tweet.
The move follows the social media platform's decision last August to allow users to limit replies to tweets before sending them. That decision, according to a post on the company's blog, was intended to "lead to more meaningful conversations on Twitter" while still exposing users to different points of view.
