What's the deal with announcing to people that you are unfollowing them? A sort of parting shot? You need them to know why? 🤔

Usually just a word, “unfollowed” in response to a specific tweet. Sometimes with a short, entirely unhelpful “cause”. Scare quotes since the stated cause is never the one I infer.

I think twitter dissolves social distance in a way that makes unidirectional channels feel like personal relationships. When a tweet is perceived as 'bad', it feels like a social violation and people need to forge agency to alleviate the dissonance.
