# Disabling the LTL/STL/GTL
In Misskey, it's possible to individually deactivate the LTL/STL/GTL.You can enable or disable these individual timelines via the instance control panel.

As all posts across your instance can be seen in both the LTL and STL, they have the advantage of making it easy for new users to find others that they are interested in without having to use the manual user search. At the same time however, this means that following other users to see their posts is less important and inappropriate posts may be shown to users more frequently. Additionally, the experience becomes more alike that of a Chatroom, which in turn may make it more difficult for new users to join in one conversations with those who have been taking part for a long time. As the weight of these advantages and disadvantages may vary from server to server, the choice of using or not using them has been left to each individual instance. If you feel like the demerits outweigh the merits, please consider deactivating these respective timelines.

<div class="warn">⚠️ Disabling timelines can lead to confusion and possibly to a short-time drop in users.Therefore, please carefully consider the effects of disabling a timeline, and explain the reasoning for doing so in advance, so that your users can prepare by e.g. following users they often talk with on the LTL/STL.</div>

Additionally, Administrators / Moderators will be able to continue viewing these timelines even after they have been disabled.
