I unfollowed 40% of my followees yesterday and it’s so liberating. It’s now reasonable to read every tweet again. Paying back follow debt to is a key part of making Twitter useful.

I don’t think that tweet had any effect. Possibly reverse effect due to fake-scarcity pseudo-cachet of following a protected account and Tom Sawyer fence-whitewash/cartmanland effect
I can’t think of any meaningful way to drive unfollows besides acting like a jerk. -
Write a script which blocks/unblocks a random 25% of your followers (just make sure I'm not on there
) - 2 more replies

isn't muting or blocking somewhat analogous to shorting? though tbf they are both badly executed as features and lack symmetry with what following signals as well as how it alters the feed
