Twitter Users Now Have A Way Out Of Toxic Conversations

Twitter Inc TWTR is making available a previously limited feature that allows all users to opt out of conversations.

What Happened: Twitter’s “safety” handle shared an animation detailing how users would be able to utilize the “Unmentioning” feature.

The feature can be accessed by clicking on the three dots next to a conversation and selecting “Leave this conversation.”

Why It Matters: The "Unmentioning” feature was in development for longer than a year. Last year, Twitter’s Senior Product Designer Dominic Camozzi shared a teaser on the platform.

At the time, Camozzi had said that if someone you don’t follow mentions you, you’d get a special notification. Should you "unmention" yourself, the tweet author will not be able to mention you again.

Last year, Twitter introduced a “Safety Mode” feature that was aimed at blocking aggressive and hateful users.

Price Action: On Monday, Twitter shares dropped 11.3% to $32.67 in the regular session, according to Benzinga Pro data.
