\n<\/p>\n

One of the most annoying things about Twitter is someone mentioning you in a conversation you\u2019re not interested in and blowing up your notifications.<\/p>\n

Currently, you can only mute the conversation.\u00a0However, Twitter is working on a new feature that lets you \u201cunmention\u201d yourself from it. Dominic Camozzi, a privacy designer at Twitter, showed off some early concepts of how the feature might work.<\/p>\n

\n

Sometimes you want to talk, and sometimes you just \u2026 don’t.<\/p>\n

Check out these early concepts that could help control unwanted attention on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Feedback, especially at this beginning stage, is invited (and wanted)! \ud83e\uddf5 pic.twitter.com\/6SpzqiwFlL<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to do remove yourself from the conversation in question, Camozzi said you\u2019ll have to select the unmention option from the three-dot menu on the tweet. What\u2019s more, if an account you don\u2019t follow mentions you, you\u2019ll get a special notification and an option to prevent further mentions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Notifications<\/p>\n

Going further, if someone you don\u2019t follow @ mentions you, you\u2019ll get a special notification. If you unmention yourself from there, the Tweet author will not be able to mention you again. pic.twitter.com\/RTFBEnkPFf<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter is also thinking about times when people are mass mentioning you\u2014 there\u2019s a special notification for that too \u2014 and you just want some peace in your life. The company said you\u2019ll be able to pause mentions for one day, three days, or seven days. Bliss.<\/p>\n

Getting a little TOO much attention? I want to make it easier to address that in 3 ways.<\/p>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Get notified when you\u2019re getting a lot of mentions
2\ufe0f\u20e3 Review those Tweets
3\ufe0f\u20e3 Change settings to stop the situation from escalating further pic.twitter.com\/CL43INsMky<\/a><\/p>\n

These features can save a lot of users from mass targeting, but they\u2019re currently in a concept stage. For now, Twitter\u2019s just looking for feedback on various methods of implementation.<\/p>\n

The company rolled out the limit replies feature last year, but you have to app<\/a>ly that filter before you tweet. But the unmentioned feature is useful when tweets are already out there. I\u2019m looking forward to see if Twitter makes any changes to these concepts when the feature finally rolls out.<\/p>\n
