This is why they are following you, and they are probably hoping to get value out of the exchange. If you find yourself not getting much value from your Twitter follower, try the soft block technique. Followers who follow you probably wanted to receive tweets on a certain subject. List your most important topics and list the people who follow you on those topics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soft_block_technique\"><\/span>Soft block technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A soft block is a great technique to use if you want to unfollow someone on Twitter. By blocking the person temporarily, you can force them to unfollow you. Although this will decrease interaction, it won&#8217;t stop the person from visiting your profile. If they recognize that you&#8217;ve blocked them, they&#8217;ll simply assume you&#8217;re using Twitter&#8217;s &#8220;glitch&#8221; and may decide to follow you again.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get rid of someone&#8217;s follower status, you&#8217;ll want to make sure they are not seeing any of your content. A soft block is similar to a normal block, but instead of removing the person&#8217;s follower status, you&#8217;re removing the temporary follower status. This is the best way to avoid attracting unwanted attention, as well as keeping your followers happy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_blocked_accounts\"><\/span>Unblocking blocked accounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever blocked an account on Twitter, you probably want to know how to unblock it. To unblock an account, you must first go to the profile of the person you&#8217;ve blocked. This is done via the Twitter app. Download the app from the Google Play Store or the App Store to access your Twitter account. Once you&#8217;ve downloaded the app, go to the Twitter home page to open the profile of the person you want to unblock.<\/p>\n<p>When someone blocks you on Twitter, they won&#8217;t know until they go to your profile and try to follow you back. This means that if you&#8217;ve blocked someone on Twitter, they won&#8217;t be able to follow you back. However, they will still be able to view public tweets that mention them. Unblocking blocked accounts on Twitter is possible, and is not as difficult as you might think. To find out how to unblock a blocked account, read on.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_a_follower_without_blocking_them\"><\/span>Unblocking a follower without blocking them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to remove a follower, you might be wondering how you can do it without blocking them. Twitter has made it easier than ever to do so. You can now view a list of followers and click the three dots to remove them. Once they&#8217;re gone, they&#8217;ll no longer appear in your feed and you can still follow them back. Unblocking a follower on Twitter is a better option than blocking them because it doesn&#8217;t completely cut off access to your profile.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to do this is to log into your Twitter account. Navigate to the &#8220;Blocked Accounts&#8221; menu and hover your mouse over the person you wish to unblock. Next, swipe right to access the menu. You&#8217;ll be asked to confirm whether or not you want to unblock the person. If you agree, tap the unblock option, and the person will be reinstated as a follower.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_a_blocked_account\"><\/span>Unblocking a blocked account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have been blocked by someone on Twitter, you may have wondered how to unblock the user. Unblocking a blocked account is easy, but you&#8217;ll need to know where to look. To do this, visit the user&#8217;s profile and hover your mouse over their &#8220;Blocked&#8221; listing. Then, swipe right to access the menu. Once you&#8217;ve found the account you&#8217;d like to unblock, click the &#8220;Unblock&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>The next step in unblocking a blocked account on Twitter is to visit the account&#8217;s profile page. Then, tap on the &#8216;block&#8217; button. This action will remove the user from the restricted roster. To view the blocked account, you&#8217;ll need to use the Twitter app. This app is available on the App Store and Google Play Store. If you&#8217;re using an iPhone, you&#8217;ll need to download the Twitter app from the Apple or Google Play stores.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EhBwrcNGQns\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"258\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Someone to Unfollow You on Twitter If someone follows you on Twitter, they most likely wanted tweets on a particular topic.
