When you currently get a message request on Twitter, you can either cake the person from sending messages or report the message, apart from the obvious option to delete and have the request. To bring more than flexibility, Twitter is at present reportedly working to add together a mute option for DM requests.

While blocking is the platonic solution if you don't want strangers to ug yous with bulletin requests every and so often, the mute selection will come in handy for those who don't really want to block a person just because they sent a message.

Separately, Twitter is also testing the possibility of opening the tweet composer directly when you hit the retweet button on the web. Even so, this doesn't hateful that textless retweets are going away. As Wong notes, you lot can retweet tweets without adding any text to the tweet composer, at least for at present.
