A Note For My Connections on Twitter™/X™, and Otherwise
About a personal experiment
Note: I (Rudrabha Mukherjee) do not intend to outrage, insult, wound, or hurt any religion or the religious or any kind of sentiments, reputation, and feelings of any person, group, class, community, institution, and organization through this note/post/article.
Twitter™/X™ is a great platform to raise the voice for the righteous, and against the social injustice(s) too.
Hence, I decided to walk on my own lane with the least possible distractions and a relatively more focused mind by turning off almost all the notifications of tags, mentions (of any kind by anyone), retweets, likes, replies, comments, quote tweets, messages, etc. by anyone (whom-so-ever).
So, I experimented the following 12 steps (as mentioned below) in last 2 weeks (and it is still going forward) on Twitter™/X™.
1. Blocking those accounts whom I do not want to see on my feed
2. Muting the noise (“some” accounts on Twitter™/X™)
10 More Steps:
Step 3 : After clicking on the Settings and Privacy option (within the android app)
Step 4 : you will get the following options (at the time of writing)
Step 5 : Muted notifications from the following people.
Step 6 : Turning off notifications for certain - WORDS, PHRASES, and even SOME ACCOUNTS too.
Step 7 : Turning off notifications for the DMs
Step 8 : Turning off Space notification for my followers.
Step 9 : Turning off DM requests.
Step 10 : Turning off the notifications for my own tweets.
Step 11 : Turning of the notification for the retweets.
Step 12 : Comment segment is open for the people whom I follow or tagged accounts only. (Specially wef. 2 pm of Feb 04, 2022 as per IST onwards)
P.S. Bonus step (this is the App info. segment) to turn off the notifications.
P.P.S. Special thanks ❤️ to team Twitter™/X™ for such excellent features (turning off the unwanted notifications) to cut the noise out, and gain (relatively) more focus on Twitter™/X™.
I am grateful to you for your time.
Jai Hind,
