Plus some people are cool 90% of the time but then an awards show comes on and you have to mute them for a day.

fair
― μpright mammal (mh), Sunday, 27 December 2015 03:09 (eight years ago) link
that is 24 hour mute, thought we meant lifetime mute
feel bad, a local socially awkward friend who tweets 90% about sports, including local high school sports, was someone I unfollowed. I now happily skim over those since his kidneys are failing and I want to be observant of his life?

muting shd be illegal either follow or unfollow twitter.com i live for this
this used to be my policy but I have been in way too many "why did you unfollow me" conversations to maintain it
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 27 December 2015 04:52 (eight years ago) link
so those conversations actually happen? the few times i've unfollowed someone who follows me back, i've mentally prepared to have to explain myself but it's never come up. and when i've noticed someone i liked has unfollowed me, i'm so crestfallen and ashamed i can't bring myself to ask even though i really do wanna know whether i said something to hurt or offend that i should be aware of or if they just like something i insult on a daily basis like Drake.

i had that conversation with people earlier this year who didn't realize that i'd unfollowed, like, everyone except my bot. brutal.
― maura, Sunday, 27 December 2015 05:28 (eight years ago) link
this is why i never check who's unfollowed me -- i don't really want to know
― mookieproof, Sunday, 27 December 2015 05:33 (eight years ago) link
i never check or notice either bc like there are innumerable reasons ppl might unfollow me, exhaustion, idk they felt like they were following too many people, any of the innumerable not-at-all-personal reasons i've unfollowed people.
many of them take it very personally though which makes me think it really is intended personally

earlier this year the first irl conversation i had with this one music writer involved her asking me "didn't you unfollow me on twitter" and i had but i had totally forgotten why and *it really doesn't matter*
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 27 December 2015 07:41 (eight years ago) link
add to list no follow that's the motto
― r|t|c, Sunday, 27 December 2015 10:24 (eight years ago) link
it is p weird if someone you're friends with or have known a long time unfollows you. like i guess if you saw them often it wouldn't happen anyway. only really happened me once, i unfollowed them also - i haven't seen them since and realised i don't see them much - plus my twitter is a p erratic mix of shit - i don't bother streamlining my personal brand - loyal customers only.

yeah someone i have worked with for years and continue to work with unfollowed me this year and i'm like uhhh ok but i don't like value their friendship or anything so it's no biggie

Goon, is right, if someone notices, just say, oh really? I didn't realize, must have been a bug/accident.

if someone unfollows me i just assume its because of the constant stream of bad tweets
― lag∞n, Sunday, 27 December 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link
yeah i don't have that problem sorry i can't relate

Can't relate either. Why get so uptight about unfollowing/unfriending?
Muting RTs makes Twitter so much nicer to read.
― Elvis Telecom, Monday, 28 December 2015 01:05 (eight years ago) link
oh yeah always turn off retweets
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Monday, 28 December 2015 01:20 (eight years ago) link
But then you miss those ppl who are excellent curators of RT's.
― Jeff, Monday, 28 December 2015 01:24 (eight years ago) link
yeah i turn off RTs only for people who use them to spam the feed

think ive only ever turned off RTs for a few ppl but it was def necessary and good
i deeply cherish lag∞n tweets but sometimes i wanna set up a bot that retweets them and adds #thirsty
