Summary | Twitter has been struggling with trolls, racists, and sexists since its advent but now a new motivation has presented itself.

Twitter did very little to combat users who are only on Twitter to insult other users - they can be suspended but it is impossible to keep them from creating another anonymous account. For now, users can choose to mute certain words, posts, or threads so that they don't receive notifications for hateful content.
