I saw a post by @seattlea here about his new tool that can compare authors on hive, who took this idea from a brand new tool created by @holoz0r and you can see the most recent version here and I immediately thought to implement something I have been working on (a tool for Instagram) also for hive!
Let me tell you what I mean.
From ancient years, there is a (highly unethical in my opinion) method that many internet users have been using. They mass-follow accounts (I have seen it happening a lot in web2 accounts like Instagram or X) and then when they are followed back, they simply unfollow them.
Why they do it? Because most probably the unfollowed accounts will never check who does not follow back so their account will look cool having more followers than following.
There used to be applications in the past that would check the unfollowers on Instagram, but at some point using them almost got me banned. So, I thought of creating my own app about it.
Still working on it, but for Instagram you can use this link
Today I thought to try it out with Hive.
How to find your hive unfollowers
This website runs locally in your computer. After putting your username, (I chose dark mode) you click on check and then you see a summary, and under it a list of profiles that do not follow you back and right under that, a list of profiles that follow you but you do not follow back.

Attention: If you plan to use the Instagram tool, do not unfollow everyone at the same time, because you will break the Instagram limits. I have been unfollowing approximately 20 users per 1-2 hours, 4-5 times a day.
I have created a list of tools here: https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@katerinaramm/list-of-hive-tools-share-yours-in-the-comments-35r and as I understand I will be creating an update soon, so let any additional tools you know (or may need) here below!
Thank you and I hope that this will be useful for you!
Ideas and feedback is always welcome!!
hehehe... my notification for this post of yours reached me with a follow up notification that you unfollowed me ;)
unfortunately the on-chain following on hive is a bit hit-or-miss, especially combined with a completely separated actifit-friend'ing and the reliance on notification services via discord, which are yet another separate thing.
i've been following your posts for a while now, but I've never actually followed you on the base layer protocol I guess.
it's a bit hurtful, I wouldn't say it leaves me untouched, but fair is square I guess... krkr
Thank you for your honest comment!
It did feel strange for me at first, but I do follow your main account anyways :)
I am of course thankful for your support, I think that you do not post on your accounts for sometime now, is this correct?
I am starting to like this tool, there are many accounts I ve been following since the steem ages that are inactive, so I like the fact that I can easily remove them.
Thank you again for dropping by, I do appreciate your support!
