X Tests Feature to Block Links in Replies to Reduce Spam
6 months ago
X is developing a feature to disable links in post replies, aiming to reduce spam and keep users engaged. Users can enable this on a per-post basis, focusing discussions on X. App researcher Nima Owji discovered the feature in testing. This aligns with X's past strategies like downgrading posts with links and modifying link previews. While it may reduce spam, it could also limit counter-debate. No release date has been announced.
