One of the most interesting things I learned in 2017 is that people obviously self-organise on Twitter. Even with my small number of followers/unfollowers the cliques and groupings follow (and indeed unfollow; pun intended) very specific patterns.

I just meant the cliques in general. I don't know why you were unfollowed??

Ah, OK. Maybe I'm just being really bad at explaining this phenomenon. What I mean is that obvious social groups have/had members who followed me. In 2017, I realised not only are they obvious groups but that when one member unfollowed me the others also eventually did.

When I say social groups I mean people in science who are clearly friends on and offline.

Does this make a little more sense?

I made a comment the other day about being mansplained and that seemed to cause a small but noticeable peek in unfollows.

A perfect way to clean your timeline, perhaps?
