Twitter Tweaked How Replies Work And People Have All The Feelings

Twitter revamped its reply feature today: @usernames won’t show up in replies to tweets anymore.

Twitter revamped its reply feature today: @usernames won't show up in replies to tweets anymore.

It used to be that a bunch of @ usernames would show up in your Twitter replies, which could occupy a significant chunk of the 140 character limit for tweets. Now, the @ names won&;t appear in the reply itself. The names of the people in the conversation will appear above the tweet, and you can control who&039;s part of the conversation by tapping on that list of names.

And people are ~stressed~

People pointed out that it&039;s tough to remove yourself from replies with the new feature:

And just generally…loathe the change

But some people love it, I guess?

The overwhelming majority of reactions have been negative, though.

Twitter rolled back a similar feature in December in response to widespread outrage.

The company has recently shipped a number of updates; many of them are intended to curb abuse. In June 2016, it announced that GIFs, videos, photos, and other media wouldn&039;t count toward the 140-character limit.

It&039;s worth noting that pretty much any time Twitter rolls out a change, people get mad. Twitter did not respond to request for comment.
