What is Fedica's audit score?

Fedica's audit score is built primarily from the ratio of your real followers to your total followers, refined by account-quality signals like posting activity. Fedica also calls this your social score. It gives you one number that reflects how genuine your follower base actually is.

How do fake followers hurt my account?

Fake followers ruin your engagement rate, since bots rarely interact with your content the way real followers do. They also damage your credibility with genuine audiences and partners, and they put your account at risk of suspension by the platform.

How does Fedica calculate account quality?

Fedica ranks account quality using many signals including: their posts, profile, engagement, their followers and their ratios. These factors feed into your audit score to help separate active, genuine accounts from bots and inactive profiles.

Can I audit someone else's followers before collaborating with them?

Yes. Fedica's follower quality audit works on your own followers or anyone else's, so you can check a prospective collaborator's audience for bots and fake followers before you commit to working with them.

Does the follower quality audit work on Bluesky or Mastodon too?

Yes. Fedica's follower quality audit is built originally for X (Twitter), but the same audit tool and audit score also work on Bluesky and Mastodon accounts.

Is the follower quality audit available on the free plan?

No. The follower quality audit is available to Fedica paid plan members for X (Twitter), Bluesky, and Mastodon; it isn't included on the free plan. Check Fedica's plans page for current tiers and pricing.

Fake Followers

What Counts as a Fake Follower?

A fake X (Twitter) follower is an inauthentic account, automated bot, or purchased profile that inflates your follower count without offering real engagement, reach, or buying intent.

Left unchecked, fake followers ruin your engagement rate, damage your credibility, and put your account at risk of suspension by the platform.

Key Capability

Your Audit Score

Fedica's audit score shows how many of your followers are real, not bots.

Real-to-total follower ratio: the core of your score is the share of your followers who are genuine, not fake or automated.
Refined by account-quality signals: posting activity and other quality signals adjust the score, so it's not a raw ratio alone.
Also called your social score: Fedica uses this name for the same score elsewhere.
Works on any account: audit your own followers, or a prospective collaborator's, before you engage.

Why It Matters

Why Bots Hurt Your Account

Bots don't just pad your follower count — they actively distort your data. Fedica's audit flags accounts that:

Manipulate your engagement ratings
Inflate your account artificially
Mislead you about who your real audience actually is
Spam your content with irrelevant information that alienates genuine followers

Auditing and removing them keeps your account clean and healthy.

Use Cases

Why Run a Follower Quality Audit

A follower quality audit turns a suspicion about your follower base into a documented answer.

Protect your account: keep spammers and accounts that don't contribute to your community out of your audience.
Vet a collaborator: check a prospective partner's followers before you commit to working with them.
Diagnose slowed growth: rule out, or confirm, that bots are the reason your numbers look off.
