Twitter no longer sends you replies people post unless they’re to other people you’re also following, because sending everything was apparently killing their servers, as the code was inefficient.

At least it won’t send it as long as they’re done through the proper “reply” function. Messages that just start with @xxxx are still shown unless they’re replies.

So they may have fixed your issue for you without realising it?

The RT’s I can understand as you are just passing on something you feel strongly enough about for it to appear in your feed for the benefit of your followers, but why the simple replies? It’s like listening in to one side of someones IM conversation and something that I don’t think Twitter was originally intended for.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming nobody has the right to reply tweet to someone, but until Twitter gives me the option of turning off reply tweets from people I follow, to people I don’t know, then all I can do is unfollow the extreme repliers.
