Unmention” is a way to quell cyberbullying on Twitter

[samiaseo75]

Twitter announced its intention to launch this feature as early as last year , when it announced its desire to help users “control unwanted attention” on their domains.

When the user uses the “unmention” feature, their username turns gray , indicating to other users that they do not wish to be tagged in the conversation again.

The “unmention” feature also disables namibia phone number data notifications so that users are not aware of what is being said in conversations (sometimes filled with hate) that do not interest them at all.

Last September, Twitter began experimenting with the “Safe Mode” feature on its platform with the ultimate goal of clipping the wings of cyberbullying. By activating “Safe Mode,” Twitter automatically analyzes interactions and its algorithm blocks accounts that engage in abusive practices against the user (saving hours and hours of checking messages and blocking profiles). The social network expanded the “Safe Mode” test last February and continues to compile feedback from its users regarding this feature.

After several years of inaction regarding cyberbullying, Twitter has recently launched several features aimed at putting trolls to rest . This is the case, for example, of the feature to choose who can reply to a tweet (all users, accounts that the user follows or accounts mentioned).

The "unmention" feature has been introduced to the public shortly after Twitter , which seems to be constantly adding new feature after new feature, announced just a few days ago that it would soon be launching a button to edit tweets .
