Twitter Cracks Down On Spam Accounts - People Lose Followers
- anulman 17y agoNext thing you know, they'll be deleting your copies of 1984 and Animal Farm.
- tvon 17y agoLosing follows because they were spam accounts equates to Amazon deleting 1984?
- eande 17y agofinally, the spam accounts are annoying.
- raganwald 17y agoWatching your follower count like a hawk is a little like obsessively checking HN to see whether your comments have been upmodded and/or provoked replies. (thinks) Oh dear.
- erlanger 17y agoI don't think there's anything wrong with paying attention to what's essentially a discussion forum. Tracing one's follower count would be akin to tracking the "Read" stats on a forum topic instead of "Replies."
- raganwald 17y agoNothing really wrong with it. But let's just say I'm glad there's no "Subscribe to these comments via SMS" option :-)
- LogicHoleFlaw 17y agoHonestly I hoped this nuked a couple of my followers. I block new ones which seem spammy, but a few were borderline who I gave the benefit of the doubt.
