The application divides the users you follow into four main groups: Over popular (most followed), Under popular (least followed), Overactive (accounts that tweet a lot), and Unactive [sic] (accounts that tweet only a few times a year). Accounts that you feel are no longer worth following can be instantly unfollowed. The app’s side menu also allows you to view all of the accounts you unfollowed using the app.
The tools were created by Norwegian developer Queen Raae, who revealed to TechCrunch over Twitter DM that she created Prune your follows as a result of hitting the platform’s follow limit.
“I hit the 5000 followers limit (after almost 16 years on Twitter) and had a hard time finding an account to unfollow. Twitter has only one view of the accounts you follow, with the most recently followed on top. So I got the idea to build something for myself,” she said.
Although the tool is quite useful, Twitter imposes its own API restrictions. 50 unfollows can be facilitated every fifteen minutes by an app, for a daily maximum of 500 unfollows. You can still unfollow someone on Twitter by clicking on their profile if the app reaches its capacity.
Raae claimed that she is working with various features to get around this restriction. One option is to stagger access to the tool or show a total countdown on the website. She’s also thinking about adding a function that allows users to add Twitter profiles to lists. They can open that list on Twitter at a later time and instantly unfollow the accounts.
She continued by saying that early adopters have insisted on seeing more filters, such as a list of accounts that do not follow them back and the quantity of interactions with that account. Raae added that adding a personalized filter would allow users to perform searches like “Show me all web3 profiles with less than 3000 followers,” which is another concept for future development.
Some of these issues could be quickly fixed if Twitter made some API changes, but the Elon Musk-led organization has already halted a number of developer-focused projects, including Twitter Toolbox. Amir Shevat, the business’s former head of the developer platform, authored an article for TechCrunch earlier this month that described the situation within Twitter. When it comes to developer platforms, he said that just two out of a team of 100 employees are still employed by Twitter. Therefore, it is realistic to predict increased tightening of platform regulations rather than improvements for developers, so it might be wise to use this app while you can.
