Threads launches custom mute filters, teases controls for quote posts

Threads said today it is launching a new control for users to filter out words and phrases from their feeds and mentions.

Threads said that the feature will filter out content from both the “Following” and “For You” feeds, search results, profiles, and replies to posts. The Meta-owned social network already allows users to control who could reply to their posts: anyone, profiles you follow, or mentioned people only. “Since quoting a post is one of the most visible ways to connect with someone on Threads, it was important for us to give people more agency over who can engage with them and help reduce unwanted interactions,” a company spokesperson said.
