Blocking & Muting Management

Browser console scripts for blocking, unblocking, muting, and managing unwanted accounts on X/Twitter.

Script Selection

Script Details

massBlock.js

Blocks a list of usernames by navigating to each profile and clicking Block. Configurable delay between blocks. Tracks progress and exports block list.

Controls: window.XActions.pause(), .resume(), .abort()

massUnblock.js

Navigates to blocked accounts page and clicks Unblock on each. Scrolls for more. Progress tracking with auto JSON export.

massUnmute.js

Same pattern as massUnblock but for muted accounts. Navigate to x.com/settings/muted/all first.

blockBots.js

Scans your followers using heuristics to detect bot accounts:

• Default avatar / no profile picture
• Very low follower count with high following count
• Account age < 30 days with high activity
• Bio contains spam keywords
• No tweets or only retweets

Flags accounts as suspicious before blocking. Review mode available.

muteByKeywords.js

Scans timeline or search results for tweets containing specific keywords. Mutes the authors. Configurable keyword list.

manageMutedWords.js

Bulk-adds words/phrases to X's muted words list. Navigates to settings and adds each word programmatically.

removeFollowers.js

Removes followers using the block-then-immediately-unblock method. They stop following you without being permanently blocked. Processes one-by-one with safety delays.

Controls: window.XActions.pause(), .resume(), .abort()

Rate Limiting & Safety

• 1-2s delays between block/unblock/mute actions
• Bot detection uses heuristics — review flagged accounts before blocking
• X may restrict after ~100 blocks in quick succession
• Soft-block (block+unblock) is the safest way to remove followers

Strategy Guide

Cleaning up after a bot attack

1. Run src/blockBots.js on your followers page
2. Review flagged accounts in the console output
3. Let the script block confirmed bots
4. Run src/auditFollowers.js to verify remaining follower quality

Mass cleanup of muted/blocked accounts

1. Run src/massUnblock.js on x.com/settings/blocked/all to clear block list
2. Run src/massUnmute.js on x.com/settings/muted/all to clear mute list
3. Set up fresh keyword mutes with src/manageMutedWords.js

Notes

• Block/unblock operations are final — X doesn't have a bulk undo
• Soft-block (removeFollowers) is invisible to the removed user
• Bot detection heuristics may flag legitimate new accounts — always review
