Twitter/X offers two primary ways to limit interactions with unwanted accounts: Mute and Block. Muting an account means you won't see their tweets in your timeline or notifications, but they can still see your content and interact with it. They won't know they've been muted. Blocking is more restrictive – blocked accounts cannot follow you, view your tweets, or interact with your content while logged in. They also cannot send you direct messages. These tools help users manage their experience on the platform and avoid unwanted interactions or content.
