To give users more control to monitor unnecessary conversations on their handles, micro-blogging site Twitter is building a “hide reply” feature.
“People who start interesting conversations on Twitter are really important to us, and we want to empower them to make the conversations they start (remain) as healthy as possible by giving them some control,” Senior Product Manager Michelle Yasmeen Haq tweeted on Thursday.
Although the feature would not allow users to permanently hide the replies, it would make them difficult to be spotted, ensuring hate or bad-faith do not ruin the substance of their tweets.
