Social networking site Twitter has announced that it will finally begin testing its new ‘Hide Replies’ feature next week. The company has been talking about the feature since early this year, and it’ll finally be rolling it out to users in Canada.
As seen in the GIF above, hiding replies will be easy enough, but even so, it does mean that a user will have to go through all their replies in order to hide the ones that are irrelevant or hateful, and in the case of famous personalities, that number might make it impossible to actually use the feature. Twitter presumably knows this too, and it even mentioned as much on its blog post, saying that “by testing in one country we want to get feedback and better understand how this tool can improve before it’s available globally.”
