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 …

5/ And, people also do unfollow to make twitter better as an experience for themselves. (I occasionally prune people I never interact with and who never interact with me, so long as they're not saying stuff I want to lurk.)https://twitter.com/AdamSinger/status/1138675749597040640 …

Adam SingerVerified account @AdamSingerReset Twitter by unfollowing 5K & following 400 to start. That was a decent amount of effort but looks worth it this is way better. Raw feed @ 400 feels way more manageable esp knocking out all the auto Tweeting accts. Prob go back to 7-800 as target. DMs open if need anything.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

Michael T. Bacon @MichaelTBaconI find the norms around follow/unfollow and how to interpret them on this site to be completely inscrutable. I'm sure I've pissed people off regularly by doing the wrong thing. Sometimes I unfollow just cause I need a break, though. It's not an "unfriend" thing. https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1143918313975635968 …4 replies 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
Replying to @generativist
Realized I was blocked by someone I had considered a good online friend some years ago. No idea what happened, horrified to even look up our interaction history. Dust in the wind, now.

Yea. Super disorienting. One part of me thinks, "it shouldn't be, that's silly!" And another part yells back, "nope, it's a pretty basic aspect of our social selves."

Accepting the reality and validity of my social needs has been a really hard and important thing for me. Not minimizing that pain reflexively is really healthy, turns out.
