Twitter continues to work on a new feature that lets users post certain tweets to a limited number of close friends in a parallel timeline on the social media platform.

When a tweet is sent to your Flock, only people in the Flock can view and reply to it, and a label may appear beneath that tweet that reads: “You can see this Tweet because the author has added you to their Flock.” However, if you decide you don’t want someone in your Flock anymore, you can boot them out of it and they won’t get a notification.
