Twitter is considering a feature to remove mentions to yourself from others' tweets



On Twitter, you can refer to other users by using @tweet (mention) that puts '@username' in the tweet. Mentions that allow you to refer to other users without replying to a tweet are useful, but in some cases mentioning or notifying them can be annoying. So, Twitter privacy designer Dominic Camozzi reported that he was considering 'a feature to remove mentions of himself from tweets posted by other users.'

Twitter is eyeing new anti-abuse tools to give users more control over mentions | TechCrunch

The mention function that puts '@username' in a tweet is useful when you tweet about a topic that you want a specific user to react to, or when you want to point to the account of the person who appears in the tweet. However, sometimes you can mention tweets that are offensive to you or difficult to react to.

So Camozzi reported on several features that control mentions as an 'early idea.' The first is the 'remove mentions from specific tweets' feature. This is a feature that allows you to remove a mention of yourself from the menu icon at the top right of the tweet that you are mentioning. This way you can remove mentions from conversations that you don't want to be involved with.



The second is the 'turn off mentions from specific users' feature. This feature has a setting that 'sends notifications when unfollowed users mention', and if you turn off mentions to yourself from this setting, the user will not be able to send mentions to you again. thing.



The third function is 'Restrictions on accounts that can be mentioned to me'. If you are tired of Twitter mentions and want 'perfect peace and tranquility', you can limit who you can mention to yourself within a range of 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days.



In addition, he said that he is considering a system that can notify when the number of mentions to himself by unfollowed users is increasing and take immediate action so that the situation does not worsen. Camozzi encourages us to give us feedback on the features as the set of features is an early idea.



At the time of writing, it's unclear if the new features announced by Camozzi will actually be implemented. A Twitter spokeswoman told TechCrunch that the set of features was 'still in the early stages of design and research,' while 'we're still excited about community feedback.' ..

In recent years, Twitter has been focusing on new features to prevent harassment and abuse on the platform, and from August 2020, we introduced a function that allows you to select users who are allowed to reply before tweeting, and newly tweeted. It is reported that the ability to change who can reply later is also being tested.
