The Upcoming Twitter Feature You Probably Shouldn’t Use

It will allow users to limit replies to posts

Twitter is in the midst of testing what may be one of the most high-profile changes in its history—bigger than 280 characters!

The company is experimenting with allowing users to limit who can reply to their tweets—either limiting it to people users already follow, or only to the people mentioned in the initial tweet.

This feature was first implied at the beginning of the year at CES, with four separate tiers: global (essentially, how Twitter works now), group (people you follow and mention), panel (just people you mention) and statement (just you). And, if it takes off, it could be a great thing for a platform with a reputation for being highly toxic. But associations should be careful not to rush to adopt it—because it could close a lot more doors than it opens.
