If you’re tired of blocking users or reporting them for posting unwanted replies to you on Twitter, you’re likely to have a solution soon!

It looks like Twitter users might soon be able to moderate replies to their tweets. This new feature would allow users to selectively hide replies to tweets while others who are not ‘blocked’ on your list can still view them.

The feature was unearthed by Jane Manchun Wong, who usually finds unannounced features in social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

However, it looks like our Twitter friends have their doubts about this new feature, which will reportedly be implemented in the ‘coming months’.

Who benefits from this?

Will the user know if their Tweets are being ‘moderated’?

Not sure if this is good or bad idea

Twitter stays testing out new features, when all we ask... is for an “edit tweet” option. 🤦🏽‍♀️

What do you think? Is this a feature we actually need on Twitter?
