Today we’ll talk about Twitter these are just thoughts about a possible purchase of Elon Musk. It looks like the tycoon has changed his mind and is now ready to come up with his original offer. However, despite all the controversy around this topic, Twitter hasn’t stopped developing new features. The latter is the one that many users have been asking for for a long time.
Jane Manchun Wongknown for discovering novelties that are on the way to several social networks, announced that Twitter is working on a feature to avoid being mentioned by other people. As a platform where the vast majority of content is in the public domain, anyone else can also invite us to publish. The problem, of course, is that it also helps some unlucky ones to dedicate themselves to worrying.
So with this feature, entering your username (starting with @) will not show up in the quick suggestion list. Now we don’t know what will happen if another person decides to enter your username manually. The most logical thing is that it is displayed only as text and is not linked to a profile. Therefore, a mention notification will not be generated either.
The image obtained by the software developer also shows a variant: “Only people who follow you can mention you”. This way you ensure that only known contacts can engage you in their tweets. Without a doubt, this is an add-on that, although it disrupts the basic functioning of Twitter, helps you stay away from a possible wave of hate. We know perfectly well that this is a common practice in this social network …
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Twitter has blocked mentions. In the middle of this year, they introduced a feature to avoid unwanted conversations. Let’s face it, more than once we’ve been in the middle of conversations that have become toxic or uninteresting, and with a button “leave this conversation” we can say goodbye quietly.
However, blocking any mention goes further as you limit interaction with your profile. Surely many people, especially those who for one reason or another are exposed to negative comments, will accept this with open arms. At the moment yes still undergoing internal tests and we don’t know when it will be available to all users.
