Guidance on Controlling the Twitter Messages you see and the Notifications you Receive

From the Twitter page titled You’re in control with our safety tools: 

• Avoid language you don’t want to see by blocking specific words. You can mute terms for any of these time periods: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days — or for as long as you like. Whatever you mute — words, hashtags, phrases — won’t appear on your Home timeline or in your notifications.
• Muting a conversation stops notifications related to a Tweet you’re mentioned in, without blocking anyone or removing the conversation from your Home timeline.
  
• No longer want to see Tweets or notifications from someone in your Home timeline without blocking them? You can mute an account — and unmute it — any time.
  
• Get an extra level of control by filtering the types of accounts you see in your notifications. You decide whether or not you want to see notifications from certain accounts.
