I suspect most people will never use this feature. (I can't imagine using it much myself.) There will still be plenty of conversation on Twitter. But it should offer much-needed protection to the platform's most vulnerable users — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter says you’ll have the option to receive replies *only from people you follow.* Could solve a lot of abuse and harassment issues in one fell swoop — PolitiTweet.org

@Easy_E I think some differences are inevitable but that’s not an excuse for creating a caste system in a rich tech workplace — PolitiTweet.org

@_aaronbnb i guess i see how some would think about it that way, but i didn’t get into journalism hoping to work for a big tech company — PolitiTweet.org

Journalism doesn't always work out so neatly, but it feels amazing when it does. Hoping I can do more stuff like this in 2020. My DMs are open! — PolitiTweet.org

As a result, dozens of maintenance and culinary workers at Pinterest's San Francisco HQ got to spend a paid week off with their families for the holidays, just like all the much better paid full-time employees at the company. — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

The whole thing took maybe a half-day. The story did not make a splash. Few read it. Other outlets did not pick it up. It's fine! Lot going on these days. But Pinterest employees read it. And they complained. Loudly. And the company reversed its decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

The story offended my sense of fairness. All year I wrote about the growing divide between contractors and full-time employees. "A modern-day caste system," as a manager put it to me. I made a couple calls, confirmed the Pinterest story, and wrote it up https://t.co/ANmPDhkqhc — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a quick thread about why I love my job. Last month, I heard that Pinterest was slashing vacation benefits for its contractors. They used to get a paid week off at the holidays, like full-time employees do. But not anymore. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s weird that the two biggest reasons I think most people unmatch from Tinder — person is ignoring you, and person turns out to be ridiculously far way from you — are nowhere on this list https://t.co/aUOQlhhELc — PolitiTweet.org
