The Twitter web experience and the official Twitter app for Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices have begun rolling out the new Twitter Communities feature and the ability to manage followers from either their profile or an account’s Followers page.

The new Follower functionality is actually rather useful as not only does it allow users to manage their followers from one location (the Followers page) but it also lets them force an account to unfollow them.

Previously, Twitter users would have to block and then unblock an account to stealthily force them to unfollow but now this can be done with one quick click on the newRemove this followeroption which is available via the ellipsis menu next to a user’s name on the Followers list.

Twitter’s new Communities feature is curious as it lets admins invite other users to participate in conversations posted in a community but all of the posts by community members will still be viewable by the general public, like most posts on Twitter.

let’s talk about how Communities will work (for now!)

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
