The focus is on “social privacy,” or the idea that people want more control over their reputation and how they “appear” online.

Internal research found that a lot of Twitter users don’t even know if their account is public or private. Makes them more hesitant to tweet

It’s wild that the archive old tweets option has taken this long https://t.co/WeF5x0ZM2c

I think it’s more likely that people would pay so they don’t have to see my attempt at jokes https://t.co/S4Qo6kpO2u

Archiving your old tweets, hiding your liked tweets, forcing a follower unfollow, and leaving conversations are literally all I ever wanted… in addition to editing tweets. https://t.co/91jGH0c8bG

FINALLY.

Serioiusly, finally. How has it taken Twitter THIS LONG to implement THIS OBVIOUS AND NEEDED feature? To recognize what kind of thing it is and what it is used for — both good and bad?https://t.co/uxlvoLI9iR

Thank god because the people I follow… I don’t need to see their likes AT ALL. Lol! https://t.co/7tg5t7Ayrp

New twitter features being considered
• Archive tweets - hide old tweets after 30, 60, 90 days or 1 yr
• Removing followers - remove followers in one or two taps
• Hiding tweets you’ve liked - show likes to: everyone, followers only, or select groups https://t.co/XAUSxhDXmr

Speaking of Super Follows, I can’t imagine how’d indie creators deal with scenarios where people from all around the world systematically repost the exclusive paid content. Like you can add watermarks, but it won’t stop the reposts

Am I overthinking? thanks

ah yes social privacy or as it is sometimes also called, privacy

— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) September 2, 2021

is what? ?? obviously, because it has to be IAP so how else could it be done. I wait until it reaches AppStore IAP internal limit of available IAP slots per app, something like 65536 or something https://t.co/SVS3XGYDEr

New: Twitter is planning a bunch of new privacy features, including the ability to archive old tweets, hide the list of tweets that you’ve liked, and cull your follower list https://t.co/t6fMq6sTgt

introducing Super Follows—a paid monthly subscription that supports your favorite people on Twitter AND gets you access to ::puts sunglasses on:: super Tweets

rolling out in US and Canada on iOS only … ? for now pic.twitter.com/Mb9sgxbw5F

Each Super Follow is an In-App Purchase on the App Store,

but because there are too many IAPs for the Twitter app, the App Store only shows 10 instead of the full list pic.twitter.com/PPT3bQDCJz

“Removing followers -- Users will soon be able to remove followers. This is currently only possible by blocking someone. Twitter plans to test this feature starting this month.” https://t.co/V6RgkY0S9Y

All of my tweets are equally super, and I have no desire to monetize any of them. https://t.co/UPbppKBqXv

In settings, there will be a YES/NO toggle switch under the question “Are you currently being considered to host a TV show and/or awards ceremony?” https://t.co/4SCez2aF4O
