After all - all that person has to do see your public tweets is open an incognito browser window, and view your profile.

Pretty sure you have to sign in, or will very soon.

And people can likely still retweet, you just won't see it.

So Ben Shapiro can still retweet everything AOC says to "slam" her, and only the people who haven't muted him (his fans) can circlejerk and post harassing replies. She just wouldn't see it.
