Unfollow (stop following) those people who are not following you back on Twitter (or unfollow everyone if desired). | |
This will work for new Twitter web site code structure (it was changed from July 2019, causing other unfollow-scripts to stop working). | |
Instructions: | |
1) The code may need to be modified depending on the language of your Twitter web site: | |
* For English language web site, no modification needed. | |
* For Spanish language web site, remember to set the 'LANGUAGE' variable to "ES". | |
* For another language, remember to set the 'LANGUAGE' variable to that language and modify the 'WORDS' object to add the words in that language. | |
2) Optionally, you can edit the 'SKIP_USERS' array to insert those users that you do not want to unfollow (even if they are not following you back). | |
3) If you want to follow everyone (except the users in 'SKIP_USERS'), including those who are following you, just set the 'UNFOLLOW_FOLLOWERS' variable to 'true'. | |
4) You can set the milliseconds per cycle (each call to the 'performUnfollow' function) by modifying the 'MS_PER_CYCLE' variable. | |
5) If desired, set a number to the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_PER_CYCLE' variable to establish a maximum of unfollow actions to perform for each cycle (each call to the 'performUnfollow' function). Set to null to have no limit. | |
6) If desired, set a number to the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_TOTAL' variable to establish a maximum of unfollow actions to perform in total for all cycles (all calls to the 'performUnfollow' function). Set to null to have no limit. | |
7) When the code is fine, on Twitter web site, go to the section where it shows all the people you are following (https://twitter.com/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/following). | |
8) Once there, open the JavaScript console (F12 key, normally), paste all the code there and press enter. | |
9) Wait until you see it has finished. If something goes wrong or some users were not unfollowed, reload the page and repeat from the step 8 again. | |
