In such situations you can know that Twitter provides you the option to mute tweets that contain particular words, phrases, usernames, emojis, or hashtags. Muting will remove these tweets from your notifications tab, push notifications, SMS, email notifications, home timeline, and from replies to tweets.

However, it can be noted that muting words and hashtags only applies to your notifications and home timeline and you will still see these tweets via search. Also, if you have opted-in to receive mobile notifications when an account you follow tweets then too muting words and hashtags will not apply to these notifications.

As per the information provided by Twitter, muting is case-insensitive and muting a word will mute both the word itself and its hashtag. You can view a list of your muted words (and unmute them) in your settings.
