 I have used this tool before, but it's definitely broken for me now. It gave me numerous false positives. Maybe the outbox model is part of the issue? Who knows?

 Well, it helped me unfollow some 5 accounts but I wouldn't blindly trust it to unfollow in bulk. Will add the feature requests to the repo. 
 Thanks for the feature requests! Which one would be the most helpful? 
 I opened issues for all on the repo but have no special commitment to favor one over the other. I dared clicking unfollow on primal for those 5 I unfollowed but checked for note and reply count and last activity there first, too. All that to me was important when unfollowing as I don't follow lightly so for a low-churn follow list, your(?) bulk feature might not be for me ever. 
 Yeah that feature is mostly to help people who have followed hundreds of inactive profiles. There will be false positives, but I save them in a list to mitigate that. The "graveyard" list is useful besides with false positives because it lets you see if anyone came back from the grave.

I'll try to work on improving the situation with false positives by not relying on a hard coded list of relays. I can also add a button or checkbox next to individual profiles to selectively unfollow and simultaneously add to the graveyard list.

It's great to hear feedback, and I'm glad to hear people are using this tool! 
 The tool does not make clear that you actually store a graveyard list somewhere. Where do you store it? On my relays or yours? If on mine, which list do you use as there are at least 3 standards. 
 More action items:
- explain what the graveyard list is
- use the user's relay selection
- figure out which list standard to use
