Limiting reply to your tweets involves a 2-step approach, as follows: While composing new tweets, Twitter will simply apply a default setting that allows anyone to reply to your public tweets. This setting is denoted using a globe icon in the compose Tweet box. Clicking on this icon before posting your Tweet provides users with a new menu. This menu allows users to control who can reply to their tweets.
How to limit replies to your tweets

Everyone is the current default option while composing a new Tweet. If your Twitter account is public, by default, anyone can reply to your Tweet. In case your Tweets are protected, only people who follow you can reply to your Tweet. If you specifically choose the option People you follow, only people who you follow can reply to your Tweet. This option also includes people you mention in your Tweet. Choosing the option Only people you mention means one thing: Only people who you mention in the Tweet can reply to your Tweet. Can people see that I have limited who can reply to my Tweets? Yes. Once you post your tweet, people will be able to see that you have limited who can reply to your Tweet. Can people like or retweet my restricted tweet? Restrictions only apply to other people’s ability to reply to your tweet. They can still engage with your Tweet by liking or Retweeting it. Can I change reply restrictions after posting a tweet? You can only choose who can reply to your Tweet before publishing it. Once your tweet is live, you cannot make changes to who can reply to your tweets. Do you know? You can also share someone’s Twitter video without retweeting it.
