Twitter lets you ‘turn off retweets’ for accounts with bad taste
Your can make your timeline a whole lot cleaner.
Twitter reminded users Monday that it solved the age-old problem of otherwise valuable accounts constantly retweeting trash into your timeline. That would be “turn off retweets,” the setting which lets you see all of someone’s tweets and none of their retweets.
“If you like an account’s Tweets, but would rather not see their Retweets, you can turn them off,” reads Twitter’s Monday reminder. “Head over to the profile, tap the ‘∙∙∙’ icon, and then ‘Turn off Retweets.'”

Go ahead and embrace your ability to unmute all those accounts who once junked up your timeline with their trigger happy retweeting. You deserve it.
Unless you’re one of those over-eager retweeters. In that case, you deserve this, too.
UPDATE: Dec. 21, 2020, 3:48 p.m. PST: This story has been updated to note that the “turn off retweet” feature was not first announced Monday.
