So basically FaceBook-style privacy options. Except for replies instead of who can see what.
Statement is gonna backfire so badly. Screenshots are a thing.

Statement is no different than a youtube video with no comments.
It's going to backfire because now it will take these miscreants longer to figure out that they f'd up and delete their Tweets lol
Isn’t this similar to Instagram’s recently announced plan to remove likes from its platform this year? I don’t see the issue. I think the removal of these metrics allows the smaller fish to thrive. Right now, the “likes” metrics of social media is significantly weighted in the favor of big business and influencers with a lot of money. And, yes, I know this pertains to the ratio, but it’s still a related metric affected by how much of a following you can gather, which is largely dependent on your marketing budget.
Twitter becoming the biggest safe space for racists maga heads.
A lot of racist people don’t even think they’re racists. They will only insulate themselves even more.
To see this in a more positive light, this looks like a great way for communities like the LGTBQ+ community to be able to shield themselves from abuse without having to set their account to private. I know tons of people who asked for almost exactly this kind of feature, simply to be able to safely engage with the group of people they want to engage with.
Isn't that statement option what we call a direct violation to 'freedom of speech'? not being able to reply to anything?
The NYT Op-Ed page is salivating at this.
Accounts that rely on bots will switch to statement tweets with the occasional group circle jerk, basically thousands of faceless likes with no engagement whatsoever. Which further incentivizes using bots to promote bs.

Look at the replies on this super fake photoshopped image that a congressman posted.
Next time, he's just gonna do that in statement mode.
I hope they do. Because with how much they bitch about "muh free speech", it's going to make them look like hypocritical assholes.
Getting to DM celebrities' account managers isn't enough for you?
If not people will just take a screenshot and do it anyway.
I was just asking. Dipfucks like Trump could just go on rants and limit who can reply to them.
Most people restrict their Twitter access. Allowing people to publicly state whatever to a global audience without allowing others to respond is cowardice for a social media platform built for discussions.
Screenshots still take more effort than replying directly so it will have an impact.
