This protected tweets feature isn’t working as well as I hoped. Gatekeeping new follows is a big chore and without an easy way to politely cut existing follows without the violence of a block or mute, there’s no way to clean up your follows. 😕

Had the same problem with Facebook systematic unfriendings (that sounds so hostile... when the intent is to just create higher average closeness).
Only place where it would be relatively painless is LinkedIn.

I believe you can block and then immediately unblock to force an unfollow.

Yeah, it's why every time you and others go on about Twitter being meaningful for the future, I circle around to "but it's shit"

You can remove follow by blocking and unblocking, follower will not be notified.

I don't really understand this while move to semi-privacy. There has never been a uniform expectation of reciprocal follows on Twitter. So why worry about who's following you? You can't reasonably expect privacy even with private tweets.

Thanks sir. One less thing I have to worry about when I become a thought leader.
Sidenote:
I think the moniker “Paradigmist” needs to be all rage for a few weeks in SV before being supplanted by a more credentialable “Horizonolist.”

Why not just create a new protected account for the new product? Avatars are toys, isolates, immutables; protected is an avatar. Public <<-->> protect shifts make loss at worst, achieve nothing at best.
