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.

Only implicitly. I actively visit profiles of people who either have recently said something I'm very interested it, or generally tweet stuff I enjoy. It's a bit much, but for the former I have a private list that I regularly add/drop from.

There really ought to be a tool that does that. I don't mean just detect the unfollows—I think there is a tool that does that. I mean, bypass Twitter's feed algorithm and check the content from people of your choice by criteria of your choice.

That's what I'm working on! :)

Well, if I didn't already follow you, I'd follow you for that! I don't actually remember why I followed you. I wish I kept notes; sometimes it would be helpful to know when managing my feed. Obviously, in your case, I continue because of your interesting content.

(At one point, I was using the twitter data dump feature to infer this. Like, what was the first like or retweet or interaction I had with this person in the data? But, I think my memory is too unreliable for that to be a good way of doing things.)

LOL! Great minds, and all that. Generally, I follow people because I learn something from them and have reasonable hopes of learning something more. It can be small. But if I could remember what, I might go look at their feed when interested in a topic.
