Restricting an account

A middle ground between muting and blocking.

Restricting an account is designed for situations like harassment where you want protection without escalating. When you restrict someone:

  • Their comments on your posts are only visible to them (and you, if you choose to approve them).
  • Their DMs go to your message requests instead of your main inbox.
  • They can't see when you've read their messages.
  • They can't see your online status.

To restrict: profile → ··· → Restrict. Manage in Settings → Privacy → Restricted accounts.
