i wish i could broadcast a force-unfollow signal without having a list of people who are shadow-following me

@bea ?

@squirrel :/

without your instance knowing those users at all it's impossible i think. you can do it for all users your instance is aware of but you still might miss some that way

@bea hmm i think if someone's ever followed me my instance knows about them, right?

problem is that's gonna be a few (hundreds of?) thousands of requests

federation police mite get mad at me

@bea can you help me with this? i am 100% certain there are still people following me that i don't know of and it bothers me a lot but i want to keep the @squirrel handle

@squirrel i can but i'm unfortunately both busy and not doing well right now so i don't know when i can :c

it's possible to write the thing so it sends the requests slowly over time so nobody gets mad

@bea okay no worries

should i poke you later or

can you call me when you're feeling better?
