Before now when a user blocks another user it was always publicized on the timeline the user blocked will screenshot the notification and get it published. So to avoid events the soft block feature is designed.
How to Use Twitter ‘Soft Block’ Feature

- Get to Twitter official website twitter.com
- You can do this by simply getting to the profile page of the unwanted follower
- Click “Followers” and then click on the three dots beside the follower’s name
- Select the ‘remove this follower’ option
This is very simple to do. The unwanted follower will not be alerted by Twitter of your action. Also, before, blocking will stop someone from seeing a user’s tweets and sending them direct messages. With the soft block, your tweets will no longer appear automatically in the removed follower’s timeline.
