Muting notifications for words and hashtags
You might be mentioned in Tweets alongside content you’d like to avoid. We give you the option to mute notifications for Tweets you are mentioned in that contain particular words, phrases, usernames, emojis or hashtags. Muting will remove these Tweets from your Notifications tab, push notifications, SMS, and email notifications.

Note: Muting words and hashtags only applies to your notifications. You will still see these Tweets in your timeline and via search. The muted words and hashtags are applied to replies and mentions, including all interactions on those replies and mentions: likes, Retweets, additional replies, and Quote Tweets.
Muting words, phrases, usernames, emojis, and hashtags overview:

  1. Muting is case-insensitive. For example:
    If you add “CATS” to your mute list, any mention of “cats” will be muted from your notifications.
  2. You can include punctuation within a word or phrase when muting. Punctuation at the end of a word or phrase is not necessary.
  3. Muting a word will mute both the word itself and its hashtag. For example:
    If you mute “unicorn”, both “unicorn” and “#unicorn” will be muted from your notifications.
  4. To mute Tweet notifications that mention a particular account, you must include the @ sign before the name. Doing this will mute Tweet notifications that mention that account, but won’t mute notifications from the account itself. Learn about how to mute accounts here.
  5. Words, phrases, usernames, emojis, and hashtags up to 140 characters can be muted.
  6. Muting is possible across all Twitter-supported languages.
  7. Muting cannot be set for a particular time period. Words and phrases will remain muted until manually deleted from your settings.
  8. You can view a list of your muted words (and unmute them) in your settings.

I can't wait until this inevitably backfires on the people who want this and twitter as a company. Like some comedian making a mildly off-color joke prompting all the offondotrons to whine, lets say, transphobia at them and the comedian has the balls to publicly tweet 'well, better mute transphobia'. Then this safety tool will become a terrible tool for the oppression of already marginalized voices. REEEEE

It's dead cat bounce is already over.
Twitter has only one place to go.

I guess their hope is make the heavy users (whom are the majority of the tweets) feel like tweeting more. I can't see it working but right now where twitter is as a company and platform, they are pretty much blind folding and swinging for the pinta that is "selling the currently on fire house" they are.
