Twitter for web rolls out a soft block feature, allows users to remove annoying followers

To soft block a follower, you should head to your profile, click on followers, click on the three-dot menu next to a follower, then click on the “Remove this follower” option.

Micro-blogging site Twitter has started rolling out a new feature called a soft block that would allow web users to remove or restrict a follower without blocking them. Soft blocking is not the same as blocking someone as it allows the restricted users to see what you have tweeted but not on their feed. The soft blocked users can also direct message the user who has messaged them. To soft block a follower, you should head to your profile, click on followers, click on the three-dot menu next to a follower, then click on the “Remove this follower” option.
