Mute filters for Tweetbot

A bunch of regexes for muting on TweetBot, the popular iOS/Mac twitter app. It is recommended you test regexes with some tweet text (TweetBot lets you copy a tweet’s text) so paste it on regexr.com The TweetBot app also shows you how many tweets are returned from your timeline for said regex, check these!
