1. @matteruser distrust username Removes the given Mattermost user from the trusted users.
2. @matteruser follow twitterhandle Follow the given user on twitter.
3. @matteruser unfollow twitterhandle Unfollow the given user on twitter.
4. @matteruser check Force a twitter timeline check for updates.
5. @matteruser clear Removes all error messages in the debug channel.
