Twitter Inc on Tuesday rolled out a moderation feature that would allow its users to limit how many people can reply to their tweets, giving account-holders more control over conversations on their page.

Comments are so nice . Very good exctually

South Park already did this

Same energy

African dictator will hide under this tool to remove critics

This is a very good thing. I personally haven't had a problem, but I know people who have.

I'm new here - and I always wondered why the whole world was talking about Twitter and I couldn't understand it because social media, such as Facebook, far from good - but Twitter is super!! You are instantly connected to the whole world on Twitter!👏 (No advertising, really!)

mcpadaoan Twitter, what we need is the EDIT button.

Took a whole week for them to FlipTheSwitch after announcing the latest mobile app version needed to be installed first. Been did that. 🙄

except public officials with pubic accounts right?

lefties need this because they are completely unable to deal with disagreement or people who don't follow their narrative. They can only cope in echo-chambers.

America19931424 How dumb, twitter already controls how many likes I'm allowed to give, how many I'm allowed to follow. They don't seem to understand the reason they created twitter in the first place.

Let the propaganda commence

...but that undermines why I use Twitter 😐

This is another attack of free space for people who fear critics

This looks like Fun

Es schränkt den offenen Diskurs ein🤔. Der Eröffner kann bestimmte Ansichten und Interessengruppen kategorisch ausschließen.

The best part about being able to communicate with diverse cultures on international social media is when you can exclude anyone who disagrees with you.

Echo Chambers R Us Jack

Great so the media can keep pushing their narrative bullshit agenda but will be able to silence any protesting voices, sounds like a real free country!!

Isn't that just what the block function is for?

This is called Cutting Down Freedom & Democracy

Please don't block me, Reuters. I am a good reader.

I know

Half their code base is a bunch of crap-ware designed to protect sensitive liberals feelings.

We know.

This kills the app

You are free to debate what I say as long as your views are not hurting my point....

Twitter digging your own grave...

well, looks like my trolling days are over smh

Yet we still don’t hav an edit option

TopRadio909 🙄 Cool and not cool

Is Dave Rubin now on the board?

I need an 'everyone except Trump sycophants' option.

nice! Can't wait for the edit tweet option! Twitter

Lame

It would be nice if it would be finally possible to delete a comment a troll made for example

cc aliaa08

I don't see the feature in my tweet box as I type right now, but I suspect I will like it when it happens. It doesn't block anyone from seeing the tweet, and we don't really have to reply in order to comment since we still have 'share' with the ability to comment.

If realDonaldTrump wants to really push buttons he can just pick the option “only people that are mentioned” can reply lol

I do not follow individuals or reply to individuals. I actually shun Trump, Biden or any clown. I follow mainstream news sources like Reuters, AP, BBC. No crap sources like Fox, CNN, WSJ! So this doesn't apply to me? Trump & Pompeo? Get lost? They belong at ICC. Not on my feed!

Useless.

Twitter is going to die off sooner that expected.The countdown has started!!!

I just noticed this feature

And hence 'tweeter' controls them even more! Brilliant!

Good one twitter. Multiply confirmation bias while eroding healthy debate. Kinda like MSM most now ignore.

This literally ruin Twitter.

Ya saben quien va a eliminar a todos los que le hagan preguntas incomodas o lo critiquen y luego va a decir que sus tweets muestran el sentir de la gente.

Twitter would better let its users to redact their tweets

No you can cheat on your girl in peace in real time

Well at least it’s the end of twitter!

Wueh!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Twitter could we please use our camera here freely please our sweet social media guys,,yr trim is verry bad sorry to say jack ev yrsattani ect enjoyall GODBIGGESTblaaaassssbye👌🤞☝️✌️👌👌👌👌👌

We need Edit button please

Does Jack know about this?

Twitter = more censorshop.

Destroys the fun! 😱😩

And the throttling of conversations with different views continues... It's almost like Twitter doesn't want people talking about important topics, and they want everyone inside an echo chamber.... 🤔

Just checking here ..if this tweet is being controlled 🤣 bye 👋

Oh the Power given to the Powerless - a dog bone for the masses Locked in their homes, masked and muzzled - twitter tosses a bone
