Thread Users Gain More Control Over Online Conversations
On social media platforms like Twitter threads, online discussions can quickly spiral out of control with unwanted replies. To combat this, Threads is introducing a new feature that will give users more granular control over the responses they receive.
The introduction of Reply Approvals allows users to pre-approve or reject individual responses before they appear publicly. This means that users can choose who gets to respond to their tweets and limit interactions with people they don't want to engage with. The approval option is available for individual posts, rather than blanket policies, providing more precision in managing online conversations.
Furthermore, Threads is adding new filters to help users navigate post replies. Users will now be able to view only replies from users they follow or sort them by mentions. This move aims to create a cleaner and more enjoyable user experience on the platform, particularly for those who want to engage with specific topics or people without being bombarded by unwanted comments.
The introduction of Reply Approvals comes as Threads continues to grow in popularity, reaching 150 million daily active users. The company's efforts to enhance its features reflect the increasing demands from users to have more control over their online interactions and discussions on social media platforms.

but at the same time its like theyre kinda enabling people who would just spam ur name over and over again anyway i guess its still better than getting flooded with hate comments 
. Having more control over who can respond to our posts is essential, especially when we're discussing sensitive topics or just want some peace online 
. The new filters are also super helpful, I mean, how many of us have scrolled through replies from people we don't know and thought "ugh, why am I here?" 
. It's about creating a more respectful and enjoyable space for everyone, especially those who feel overwhelmed or harassed online 
. Threads is really listening to its users' concerns and adapting its features to make the platform more inclusive and user-friendly 
.
! I mean, who hasn't had that one thread where it just goes off the rails 
? I'm all about having a clean and organized convo, you feel? So, Reply Approvals and filters are like, total game changers 
. No more unwanted replies ruining your vibe, and you can actually focus on engaging with people who matter! The fact that Threads is listening to user demands and making these changes shows they're really trying to create a better online experience for everyone 
. Can't wait to try it out and see how it goes 
.
. but at the same time, I think it's gonna create more echo chambers and reduce our ability to engage with people we don't know 
. like what if someone says something stupid and you wanna have a convo about it? will they even show up in your thread? 
still, props to Threads for trying to make social media less toxic 
. THIS IS THE KIND OF UPDATE THAT'LL KEEP ME COMING BACK TO TWITTER THREADS FOR SURE 
. This new feature is going to be a game-changer for me, especially when it comes to responding to tweets about super sensitive topics 
. Having more control over who gets to respond to us will definitely make online discussions less overwhelming and more enjoyable for everyone 
. And the fact that we can now view only replies from users we follow is a major win 
. I just hope it doesn't become too overwhelming, like some platforms already are 
.
Reply Approvals is literally gonna save my sanity on twitter threads lol can u imagine being able to just mute people who are being super annoying or toxic?? it's like, finally some common sense on the platform! and the filters they're adding sound amazing too, i love that i'll be able to see only replies from ppl i actually wanna engage with 
. The added filters for viewing replies from specific users or by mentions are also a great touch - it's about time we start prioritizing user experience and agency over the chaos of online interactions
