Twitter will no longer notify you about replies in conversations started by people you\u2019ve either blocked or muted, Twitter said today.\u00a0You will, however, still get notified if someone you follow directly mentions you in the thread.<\/p>\n

Twitter made this decision after hearing\u00a0\u201cconsistent feedback from the safety community regarding notifications from conversations started by people you\u2019ve blocked\/muted,\u201d Twitter Safety posted on Twitter today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, you won’t be notified about replies to conversations started by people you’ve blocked\/muted, unless replies are from people you follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you mute an account you do not follow and they start a conversation that mentions you, you will only receive notifications from those you do follow who reply in the conversation and mention you,\u201d Twitter writes on its support page<\/a>. \u201cIf you\u2019d like to view all of your mentions, you can do so by searching<\/a> your username.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be clear, blocking someone means you\u2019re not going to see their tweets and they\u2019re not going to see yours. With muting, you\u00a0might want to mute someone who tweets abusive or other types of harmful content, but don\u2019t want to give the abuser the pleasure of knowing they\u2019ve gotten under your skin. If you mute someone, you won\u2019t see their tweets and they won\u2019t know you\u2019ve muted them.<\/p>\n

This comes after Twitter announced that it would make a number of changes<\/a> to fix abuse online. Earlier today, Twitter started putting some online abusers in \u201cTime out\u201d as part of its anti-abuse measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n
