Blocks for hiding and unhiding tweet replies on Twitter/X.
Twitter Hide Reply
This block hides a reply to a tweet.
This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to hide a reply to one of your tweets. Hidden replies are not deleted—they're moved behind a "View hidden replies" option that viewers can click to see. Only the original tweet author can hide replies.
The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 and sends a PUT request to change the reply's hidden status. This is useful for managing conversation threads and reducing visibility of off-topic or inappropriate replies.

Twitter Unhide Reply
This block unhides a reply to a tweet.
This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to restore visibility of a previously hidden reply. The reply will appear normally in the conversation thread again.
The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 and sends a PUT request to change the reply's hidden status back to visible. Only the original tweet author can unhide replies they previously hid.
