How to Remove Followers on Twitter

Removing a follower on Twitter (X) is pretty straightforward:

  1. Go to the person’s profile page
  2. Click the three dots (…) menu
  3. Select “Remove this follower”

Easy, right? But here’s the thing – doing this one by one can be a real pain if you’ve got a lot of followers to sort through… Let alone if you can see all followers on Twitter, like you can in Fedica.

Why Bother Removing Followers?

You might be like, “who cares”, but having a bunch of low-quality followers or not removing inactive or low-quality followers on Twitter can actually hurt your account. It messes with your engagement rate and can make your content less visible because of it. Plus, who wants a bunch of bots hanging around?

Think of it like this: if you have 50% bots in your followers, and you keep posting, the algorithm will think at least 50% of your followers don’t care so it will stop your content from reaching others.

Thats also why low quality accounts, like bots, also hurt your growth by being inactive, spammy, or other criteria of poor account activity.

X / Twitter Block Feature Update

Twitter recently changed how blocking works. Now, blocked accounts can still see your public posts, they just can’t engage with them. If you want to keep your tweets completely private from certain people, you’ll need to set your account to private.

As of late 2024, here’s what Fedica’s group of fake followers looks like in the tool after a Quality Audit:
