To make this feature works, every time the user is going to send a tweet, they will be given three options to select who can reply; every one that is the default setting, only those who gets followed by the user or people that are mentioned by the user in their tweets.

According to Xie, the research by Twitter showed people who access the limited replies felt more comfortable tweeting and more protected from spam and abuse. It would also reduce the number of unwanted direct messages.
