Twitter is rolling out a new feature that allows you to soft block an annoying follower. This simply means that with a button, you can now remove a follower from your account with ease.

A soft block is different from a block because it allows a user to still see your tweets and direct message you, but they won’t see your tweets on your feed. That said, when you remove a follower, they can follow you again if they want.

How to Activate Soft Blocking Feature on Twitter Web

To soft block a follower;

  1. Go to your profile and click followers
  2. Click the three-dot menu next to a follower
  3. Then click the option “Remove this follower.” (You can see what that option looks like in an image from Twitter at the top of this post.)

A follower you remove won’t be notified of the change.
