Twitter now lets you tune out annoying users.
The microblogging site on Monday introduced a mute button that lets users filter out tweets from those “you’d like to hear from less,” Twitter said in a blog post.
“Mute gives you even more control over the content you see on Twitter by letting you remove a user’s content from key parts of your Twitter experience,” the company blog post said. “In the same way you can turn on device notifications so you never miss a Tweet from your favorite users, you can now mute users you’d like to hear from less.”
Muting users means their tweets and retweets will not show up on your Twitter timeline. The muted users can still reply to and retweet and favorite your tweets, but “you just won’t see any of that activity in your timeline.”
And you don’t even have to worry about offending anyone: Those you mute will not know they got muted.
The move comes at a time when Twitter is facing questions about its ability to expand its user base, while growing its business. The social network had 255 million users as of the first quarter.
