Threads is launching two new tools today designed to give users more control over replies on their posts so they can keep conversations civil, respectful, or on-topic.
Reply approvals will require more legwork and attention, but it allows Threads users to monitor and individually select which replies will appear publicly on their posts before anyone else sees them. Users will be presented with a list of pending replies and can make them public using approve and ignore buttons for each one. To save time, if all the replies look okay, or if they all appear to be spam from bots, the entire pending list can be approved or ignored in one fell swoop.
Threads is also adding two new ways to filter replies in its Activity tab: users can now choose to only view replies from people they follow, or replies that include mentions. For accounts with a lot of followers and an active community engaging with every post, these two new options will potentially make it easier to monitor replies and “focus on the discussions you’re interested in.”
The new tools follow other Threads features recently introduced including “ghost posts” that automatically archive after 24 hours, much longer 10,000 character posts, group chats, and a global test for communities that are dedicated spaces within the app where users can find posts and content about specific topics like K-pop, books, or sports.
