To avoid unwanted replies from getting in the way of meaningful conversations on the microblogging platform, Twitter is now allowing its users to limit who can reply to their tweets.

This will be effective starting Wednesday.Here are their options: 1) Everyone , 2) Only people you follow, or 3) Only people you mention.The microblogging platform said that tweets with the latter two settings will be labeled and the reply icon will be grayed out for people who can’t reply. However, people who can’t reply to the tweet can still view the post, retweet it with or without comment, share and like the tweets.

People who face abuse find these settings helpful – those who have submitted abuse reports are three times more likely to use these settings.
