Twitter is rolling out a new feature, which will let you “unmention” yourself from unwanted conversations on the microblogging platform. The Unmentioning feature is currently available as a test, and much like most Twitter test features, it is available for a select few on its web platform. Here are the details.
Twitter announced the feature via a recent tweet, which also includes a GIF to showcase how the feature works. If you are ever mentioned in a Twitter conversation and you want to get out of it either because it’s unwanted or turning ugly, you can click the three-dotted menu in the top right corner of a reply and select the “Leave this conversation” option.
This feature is similar to how you can remove yourself from a tagged post on Facebook and can help you big time when things can get toxic (which happens more often than not) on the platform.
