A limited array of Twitter users are being given access to an experimental new feature on the platform which allows people to silence critics, trolls and fact-checkers alike by choosing who can and cannot reply to their tweets.


The feature is being tested globally with a limited percentage of users before it’s officially rolled out across the platform. The new element presents three options for who can reply to a tweet before you publish it: everyone, people you follow, only people you mention.



According to an announcement video from Twitter, anyone is still allowed to like, view and retweet conversations, but you can only participate in a conversation if you are directly invited by the original tweeter.
