anyone have a quick script to clean up one’s feed now that it’s a hot mess?

do stuff like:

  • unfollow all who have never interacted (or other specification)
  • drop all with/without term in bio
  • drop all who have retweeted X

-and then refollow a subset (by conditions)

I just don’t have a lot of time rn for many reasons so a start would be appreciated

also: if anyone has a script for checking an archive against mass deletions (which seems largely to to have worked despite log), and/or reposting deleted/archived tweets as new tweets, that might also be of interest

yes I’m silly I thought attrition was happening faster and decamped. now the people I read are still here…oh well still me

thanks for any help, ideas, and most especially all of this done already lol this is more of a feed management thing. or if I can use a tool I guess I can do that but I would rather not pay for anything just now as I am not sure how long I will stick around

thx again

also does the community profile not automatically update one’s profile pic here? it is still my old one from quite a while ago

What you describe is against the Twitter rules. Following or unfollowing accounts automatically or in bulk is against the terms and is grounds for suspension.

  1. thank you for letting me know! I did wonder, but…
  2. any recommendations for someone who went a little heavy on the Follow All button early on and now wants to prune accounts so I can follow people who actually engage now that I am slightly more established? I do this manually at times but I would like to avoid sinking a bunch of time into it.
  3. just to be clear, NO intention here of breaking any rules or risking termination, just looking for advice.

thanks again

The automation rules are here for reference: Twitter's automation development rules | Twitter Help

A good example of what is allowed, is something like https://tokimeki-unfollow.glitch.me the data etc is gathered in bulk, but the actual act of unfollowing is manual.

If using the API, best strategy is to be very gradual and observe any rate limit messages you may get - there are no POST rate limit headers generally, but the default limit is something like 15 calls in 15 minutes, but allows bursts of activity over a shorter period of time, so you could make a bunch of calls, and then stop for a few hours, before making some more.
