1/ I'm glad you said this, because I think it's a pretty common behavior (at least for extremely online / remote work twitter). I don't have lists, but I do notice relatively quickly if someone I really appreciate or respect or both unfollows me. https://twitter.com/ExAstrisUmbra/status/1143915716770320385 …

2/ And, although it's not something I like admitting, I'm left thinking: why? Did I say something fucked up? Did I make light of something terribly dark? There's no feedback there and I wish there was, if only to course correct (if need be).https://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/1093304038391611392 …

3/ But, asking explicitly, "why?" feels very out-of-bounds. If you did offend them, they made a decision that you're challenging, even if you don't mean too. And if it was milder, you're still violating some hard-to-articulate norm.https://twitter.com/TheAnnaGat/status/1093307492698869760 …

Unfollowing can simply mean a matter of managing one's time & attention. They could like one segment of your content but other content overwhelms. Blocking is a very different signal.

Yes, very true. Blocking is the strongest signal. Muting is pretty strong too, but not directly observable. Unfollowing is ambiguous.

So how are you observing the unfollows? I know my follow count fluctuates a bit. I suspect it's because they follow for one topic I comment on and find they are uninterested in my broader commentary, but I'd like a better sense of it.

Replying to @BobKerns @generativist
I have considered creating multiple accounts to segregate my comments by topic. But it's a hassle, and then there's people who follow me, not my topics. But I wish I could tag my content, and qualify my follows by their tags.

Yea. I have alts for some things, but they've gotten to be less fun. I don't like splitting myself into k parts. Now, I only use them to engage with people who would otherwise put me in a box that makes a conversation impossible.
