If you're tired of the same old reply guys filling up your mentions, you might soon have a better way to deal with them.

Twitter will soon test a new feature that lets users choose to "hide replies" to specific tweets, the company announced. The feature, which was first spotted earlier this year, will be available to Canadian Twitter users next week, according to the company, though all of Twitter will be able to experience the effects of the feature.

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
