Meta is launching another new update for Threads that can be used to “keep discussions on-topic” by manually approving replies to a post before it’s seen by everyone.
“Reply Approvals” on Threads, as the name implies, allows you as the original poster to decide which replies will publicly appear on your posts before anyone else can see them. This is rolling out starting today and can be turned on for individual post as you choose.
Further, Meta is adding more Activity Feed filters with “mentions” and “people you follow” filters.
Meta explains:
With reply approvals, you can choose which replies appear publicly on your posts before anyone else sees them. This means you can monitor conversation around your posts and keep discussions on-topic. You can turn on approvals for individual posts and review replies at your own pace.
You now also have the option to filter replies from people you follow or those that include mentions. This way, you can surface the replies you care about most and focus on the discussions you’re interested in.
Both of these changes start rolling out today, hot on the heels of “ghost posts” which launched earlier this week.
