However, at the time, the social media giant refused to acknowledge whether or not such a feature was in development. Now, Twitter has announced a feature like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twitter has confirmed that they are experimenting with a <strong>new \u2018Unmentioning\u2019 feature<\/strong> that has already been released to certain PC users. The Twitter Safety Profile released more information on how this feature will work. Users will be able to <strong>remove themself from any conversation<\/strong> in which they were mentioned. If anyone mentioned your Twitter profile in their tweets, you could unmention yourself. While your username will still be visible, it will <strong>not link directly to your profile<\/strong>. You <strong>won\u2019t get any notifications<\/strong> regarding responses to the tweet or any future mentions if someone replies to the tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How do you say \u201cDon\u2019t @ me,\u201d without saying \u201cDon\u2019t @ me\u201d? <br><br>We\u2019re experimenting with Unmentioning\u2014a way to help you protect your peace and remove yourself from conversations\u2014available on Web for some of you now. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rlo6lqp34H\">pic.twitter.com\/rlo6lqp34H<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterSafety\/status\/1512137703067996166?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an expansion to a feature the social media giant released in 2020. That feature allowed users to <strong>restrict who could reply to their tweets<\/strong>. This feature was introduced to minimize the amount of unwanted or unhelpful replies to tweets. The hope was that this feature would help <strong>keep Twitter posts meaningful<\/strong>. Hopefully, the new Unmentioning feature will have the same outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a tweet from Twitter Safety, this feature is being <strong>rolled out to Twitter Web users<\/strong>. The feature is only being tested at this stage, and there is no way to know when or if it will be rolled out globally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there\u2019s no guarantee if we\u2019ll ever see this feature released, it does have some merit that will make it worthwhile.
