But before we move on I want you to know that every single tweet that you tweet on Twitter is public, unless it is protected by making your Twitter account private.
You can hover over an account name to see a brief summary of that account.
From here, you can unfollow accounts if you want.
On the Tweet, you can see the account name, username, and how long ago the tweet was posted.
Icons at the bottom of the Tweets:
Reply: Click to start a conversation with that account pertaining to that Tweet. They will receive a notification.
Retweet: Clicking this will ‘retweet’ that tweet onto your own timeline. Your followers will now see that tweet on their timeline.
Heart: A way to ‘like’ a Tweet.
Three Dots: Will give you more options.

Mute removes their Tweets and any future Tweets form your Timeline. You will still be following them.
Block prevents you from seeing their profile and Tweets and vice-versa.
