Twitter is making it more difficult to slide into someone’s DMs
Twitter continues to make slow, somewhat stumbling steps toward letting its users filter the unadulterated assholeitude of the internet from their accounts, with NBC reporting that the social messaging platform has made it harder for random strangers to directly message people on the platform. The news follows the recent introduction of other features designed to protect users from the rampaging online monsters known as “other people,” including a continued widening of the site’s “mute” features to silence unwanted content.
