- misiti3780 12y agothat is a really great idea
- malvosenior 12y agoThanks!
- ahmett 12y agoI have the following project for this. https://github.com/ahmetalpbalkan/goodbye https://github.com/ahmetalpbalkan/goodbye It can DM you when someone unfollows you. But you need to host it somewhere.
- zem 12y agotempting, but i feel that tracking who unfollows me would only annoy me for no good reason.
- chimeracoder 12y agoNo need to use git, since you can just use diff(1) to find the unfollowers between any two dates. I've been doing this for a while with a Go program I created[0]. Unfortunately, people who change their Twitter handles (which I found surprisingly common) show up as false positives - you either need to filter these out manually or match against the user id[1].

- gknoy 12y agoTrue, but git comes with many tools (e.g. gitk) that make it really easy to the diffs-over-time of a repo.
- ryanseys 12y agoI made a thing yesterday to do just that. :) https://github.com/ryanseys/twidiff https://github.com/ryanseys/twidiff
