Twitter helps keep harassment at bay… sort of

If you want to insulate yourself from the negativity that spawns on Twitter, the social network is offering all its users a way out. Twitter is making available to all its users the ability to limit the notifications you see. You can opt to just see notifications sent by users you follow. Of course, this doesn’t take you entirely out of the conversation, it’s just like putting blinders on to not see distractions. It’ll still be there, though.

Twitter has been trying various means to help lessen incessant abuse and harassment that happens on its platform but we wonder if this is the solution for it. If it’s something you want to try though, then you should be able to make the changes now. Twitter also introduces quality filter setting, which lets you filter out “lower-quality content.” It supposedly improves the quality of tweets you see based on criteria like account origin and behavior.
