There should be a tool to help with that........ 

 Appears to be broken. see update 

 doh. mine is still searching. i'll see what happens when it completes i guess? 

 Yeah it's broke for me too. 

 Concordo plenamente, estou fazendo essa troca, particularmente das pessoas conhecidas, mas inativas no NOSTR, pelas não conhecidas, mas ativas por aqui.

 Update: This tool seems broken. It gave me an incredible amount of false positives. Please be careful to not accidentally purge active users.

 100% sorry for the confusion. I almost nuked a good amount of active npubs! 

 It worked well in the past. No worries. 

 I use @NostrAIDVM to give me a list of npubs that are not active and just go through them one by one and unfollow 

 Option 11 gives you the list of npubs that are not active 

 Thanks for that  

 Well option 10 worked but stopped responding after that. 

 @Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 is this your bot? 

 Yes, just tested, 10 worked for me  

 Working on a better solution 👌 I wish I have more free time 😅 

 Couple things. I change the number from the default (3) and that usually seems to give me an accurate list. 

Second, I don't use the nuke button. Actually put in the work to confirm some of them are inactive.  

 that's too much work for me. i followed 1500 people. the tool recognized hundreds of people for me to unfollow. thankfully a better tool has emerged.

boom. i spot checked a dozen people and then nuked 139 inactive npubs. 

 Yeah, relationships do take some work. 

 Maybe @YEGHRO tool will help: https://unfollow.yeghro.site/ 

 that's the one I meant to use. I think it's time for some nostr bookmarks maintenance as well. 

 Update to the update: This tool has worked beautifully. Use this tool to clean up your contact list.

 Does it identify potential spam bots people amybahvw followed by accident or by following everyone back? That could be useful:) 

 i would guess not since they're technically active 😉  

 Good one to add on your tech stack! ❤️ 
I am yet to use but saving it ☺️

 Just tried, gave me one result, a false positive, the user has been very active recently... Caution is advised  

 Done (manually) 🙏  

 Before my client updated your number of followers it showed 3 people which got me wonder what was your definition of working in this case 😅 

 Don't really understand the reason to remove inactive follows.  What if they come back? 

 💯 nobody leaves nostr unless they post their nsec 

 @captain ☦️ compromised 

 I had asked for this several times. Great it exists now! I guess with my mere 340 follows I can leave it to others to test it out before letting it touch my follows list ;)

Does know about outbox or does it check on only some small set of popular relays? Does it preserve settings it doesn't understand? ...

For what it is so far ... is it open source? Is there a public issue tracker? In the mean time, some feedback:

 https://i.nostr.build/wPTOKLHiSl6W8nnR.png 

* Improve the layout of the list. Some minor amount of style is cheap
* Start searching as soon as you know the npub
* Show "last active" next to each account
* Sort accounts from longest inactivity (no activity ever?) to most recent activity
* Provide a checkbox with each
* Provide a "check all older than x months" button
* Provide info of relays that were checked
* If the profile could not be found, assume you didn't find the right relay to check and don't offer to remove it unless opted in. 

 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?

https://github.com/captain-stacks/nostr-graveyard 

 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 

 Check @YEGHRO ‘s tool

https://unfollow.yeghro.site/ 

 Well ... the other tool looks better and shows profile pictures and works with npub instead of hex ... but both look very rudimentary. Where the above tool excels is the graveyard list. I'm not sure your tool stores the removed users to some list. 

 Time to kill some heroes on my follow list 

 Hey just wanted to say thank you, very helpful insigth (I'm still learning about Nostrich)  

 Merci Derek et bonjour à vos vous ..
Question quels sont les relais qui sont les plus utilisés pour les Android et puis comment configurer la messagerie ? Puisque sans configuration sur mes téléphones j'ai peine à voir tous mes écrit et c'est fort embêtant..on m'a expliqué que je pouvais le supprimer mais je n'ai trouvé nulle part dans les paramètres comment enlever ce panneau qui m'empêche depuis qu'ils ont préconisé la configuration des relais et de la boîte de messagerie qui ne m'est très peu utile..je passe souvent via des notes  si réellement j'ai besoin d'aide .. merci beaucoup surtout agréable semaine Derek et the Gringer ..
