Voice of the Emirates – Many users of the X platform (formerly Twitter) suffer from frequent annoyance on their timelines, whether from unwanted accounts or content that doesn’t align with their interests. This occurs without resorting to the block option, which can cause sensitivities or unwanted conflicts.
In this context, the platform offers several smart tools. These tools enable users to organize content and control what appears in their feed easily and smoothly.
Muting accounts instead of blocking them
The Mute option is one of the most prominent solutions. It allows you to mute tweets from specific accounts without their owners knowing. Their posts won’t appear on your timeline, but you’ll still be following them.
Muting annoying words and tags
Users can access their privacy settings and select “Mute words.” They can then specify particular words or hashtags to prevent any content containing them from appearing. This is an effective feature during controversial events or intensive advertising campaigns.
Organizing responses and notifications
The X platform offers the ability to filter replies to tweets, displaying only replies from trusted accounts or accounts the user follows. This reduces abusive or unhelpful comments.
Controlling sensitive content
Through privacy settings, you can specify the level at which content classified as sensitive is displayed, or hide it completely. This provides a more comfortable and secure experience.
Relying on the timeline
Some users prefer to revert to the “Latest” option instead of algorithms to follow tweets in chronological order. This avoids content being dictated by engagement.
These tools give X platform users more control over their digital experience, without direct conflicts. This makes the timeline more relaxed and aligned with their personal interests.
