@mattl if you go to settings, there should be a screen for followers/following which gives you some tools to filter by recently active, etc. and mass add/remove

Given the ubiquity of extremely well-engineered social media technology available at no cost to users I see frequently discussed, it might be useful to note:

- Twitter is 16 years old, raised nearly 13 billion USD in venture capital, employed thousands of engineers, and had a successful IPO. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/twitter
- Block Party is four years old, raised nearly 5 million USD in seed dollars, and employs multiple people full-time. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/block-party-4a94

Developing technology is not free.

For comparison:

Mastodon is 6 years old and grew out of a university student project. Per GitHub data, it currently has 2 consistently full-time devs, including the project founder, and 1 part-time. It is being funded out of a 31k USD/mo Patreon, and until recently was closer to 20k, which is used to pay for development, hosting of two large instances, and moderation.

Mastodon has had less funding than Block Party and is being compared to Twitter. Give it funding and time and it will catch up.
