    I'm torn on the new changes to replies. On the one hand, it would be nice to keep mobs of antivaxxers from polluting my timeline. OTOH, politicians and public figures can again insulate themselves from public comment when they say or do horrible things.https://twitter.com/UrbaneDoc4Kids/status/1215024796645416965 …

    Don’t like the new changes to replies? Feel like it changes too much of @Twitter is? Take heart in the fact that @jack et al will never, ever get rid of the Nazis.

        Can still quote tweet so I don’t think it will stop public comment

        Yes, but will they still get notifications over quote Tweets? If not, then they won't even know you commented.

        Perhaps it could be setup so that if you have a blue check you aren't allowed to retreat into only followers can reply. Either you're a public figure worthy of verification and public response or you're a private individual who can control who can reply to them.

        People will use the new functions to add a hashtag knowing that it'll be found, @ a friend, and then set it for replies from only those people mentioned. Gonna really piss off bots and trolls.

        I think it will let propagandists like some developers, censor comments, the way their fb propaganda pages do.
