It may also be possible that you don’t like self-promoting posts, spam, and bots, and don’t want to interact with them. There is a way to just ignore, make your account private, or use the Twitter mute button and let to see other friends and fellow tweets.

- The tweets will not appear on both profiles or timelines, even if you or another person tags you, until you again unblock/follow each other.
