(This is a longer version of a post on X)
Before I start I'll mention what my civic duty has been for the last 20+ years: my background - below are links with more about that. But lately I've felt the need to join hands with others to form the big Blue Wave coming in November! You might have guessed which side of the fence I'm on right now (not right). Though I have hope for the Red Storm - after the cult is smashed!
Anyway, a post was done on X by me about people who have been helpful in joining hands with others by increasing our follower counts - it seemed well received. The folks below provide lists of people who can be followed and should follow back. But be careful not to go over the limit of following not more than 400 people a day! ---The rules: Following on X--- And @ByronJo34131043 suggests keeping your followers/following ratio to 0.9 or more! (or in other words, keep your following not more than 9% more than your followers) Otherwise restrictions could occur! (more followers the better!) Bryon also suggests allowing your non-followers 1-3 days to follow back. (see below for details on how I go about trimming my following list)

Don't do as I've done and follow more than 400 people in a day! (again, the rules: Following on X) And as mentioned, try to keep your followers/following ration to 0.9 or more to avoid restrictions! (more followers the better!)

Update 10/09/2024:
*So far with the Apple 'Followers Analytics' app I've found using the 'Are Not Following Back' list appeals to me to unfollow those not following me after at least 2 days. At the end of the day I follow an account that probably isn't going to follow me back, a marker for where I finished for the day. After a couple of days I will unfollow the accounts under the marker, excluding those I want to keep. I'm using accounts @abc, @cbs, @cnn, and @nbc - and their subsidiaries as markers. I also use the subsidiaries because the old markers don't seem to go to the top of the list after being used - at least not for an undetermined number of days.
Maybe using the following list could also be made to work, but I'm going with the above for now.
**Below is a more manual method I've been using.
----------------------------------------------------
How I trim my Following List without an app:
(1) I allow about 2 days for my non-followers to follow back.
(2) I take screenshots of the top of my following list at the end of the day. In the title of the screenshots I add the date I've taken the screenshot.
(3) A couple of days later I'll come back to a screenshot from 3 days before (not two) where I know the people below the shot are mostly followers. (see note [1] below for how I search for people)
(3a) I'll unfollow a few people above the screenshot just to mark
where I can stop for the next step.
(4) I'll bring up the screenshot from 2 days before and search for the people I see.
(4a)Then below the people in the screenshot I'll unfollow
the people who aren't following me until I reach
the people I've unfollowed in the previous step.
Note:
[1] I've learned to use ctrl-end to get to where I want to start. On my machine the ctrl-end takes me down about 54 entries and I'll use a ctrl-F to search for a person in the list I'll use as a starting point.
Cause below I've been involved in for 20+ years, you might see why. What just might be the worst example of
monopoly power gone amuck.
