It isn't officially called "Ghosting", but it might as well be.
After almost 10 months, the company has finally begun testing a new way for overwhelmed, annoyed, or just plain disinterested users to dip out of the notifications nightmare known as getting mentioned in a tweet and then having tons of people reply. Unmention is a soft launch for some users on the web.
How do you say "Don" to me without saying "Don" to me?
Tweet may have been deleted
What does that mean? The option to leave this conversation has been given to select users according to an accompanying GIF. The link function will be broken if this is true, but it won't remove a user's handle from the offending account.
We asked how many users are in the test group, and where Unmention is being tested, but didn't get a detailed response.
A company spokesman was willing to confirm that it was rolling out to a small group on the web. Don't be shocked if you don't get the ability to unmention yourself in the immediate future.
If you are lucky, you will one day. Sometimes deletion of your account is an overreaction.
