Unfollowing Inactive myLot Members...

While waiting to go to church later, this is what I'm doing. I want to start afresh with the people I'm following here so I'm unfollowing inactive members. Of course I can always follow them again when I see they are active but most aren't so I want to clear them all up. Yesterday my Following list was around 600+, now it's down to half and I'm gonna continue paring it down until I only have the active ones left. From there I will start adding more active people to follow. What fun!

You ought to know that I am not here during weekdays but participating during weekends. I am working and I do not have an internet connection constantly just only a prepaid :):

It's good to manage the following list, but I don't think I am going to spend time doing that now. I don't have much time to spend in mylot, so I'd prefer to just read and write as much as I can here. Moreover, there are some old connections that I'd like to stay connected with, hopefully they will return to mylot soon.

I haven't touched my followers' list yet to trim those who are inactive . Who knows most of them will reactivate their account here any day from now , just like others did .

True, who knows when they'll come back. I just had a lot of free time so I did it and found "new" active members to follow too!

I am not doing that. Its not right for me. May be they have their reasons for not being active and we should understand that

true they have reasons for not being around like I wasn't around before... so since they are not around I'll just do it when I can. Of course I check their profiles first, if they have not posted like in a year or two then I unfollow.

@cherigucchi,I don't care who among my followers is actve or who's not.I try to be as active as I can,and I think it's what matters.

I,for one,respect those who my active followers and don't bother who of my followers are inactive.If I am active here,then I don't bother who is active and who is not.It's their headache.

hehe, maybe it's just a bit of OC kicking in so I will continue doing it until I'm done.

@owstalaga It would be good to keep an active few than a list of many who have gone missing.

I follow more than 600 people, but I added many of them several years ago and some of them aren't active anymore. Many old members came back when mylot started paying again. I hope that some of my old friends will return as well, and I didn't delete them. I have started adding a lot of active members.

It's good. Cleaning up your list could help you a lot. Anyway, you can add them anytime once they're back.

I even forget to check my connection. I think some of my connections here are inactive because they don't really know Mylot has come back. Let's wait them for few months

Well for starters, I'm only removing those with less than 1k comments.

Isn't that a really a large task to take on? How to? How long? Do you know someone is inactive before you...I might need to change my name. Need to give you credit for being so organized.

Haha, yeah it took me a day or two because I rested in between, doing other stuff that mattered more. Now it's down to over 50.

We don't have time to waste so it's best to only keep the good active followers.

This is a very well know problem in every writing site I joined. People start to be active, then they disappear and you have a long list of people you follow that became ghosts.

haha, that's right. Oh well. It's just a little bit of OC in me I guess, can't help but want to unfollow the ghosts...

My motto is: If people are not active, they shouldn't even bother to be a part of the online writing and sharing community.

Well some of them left because myLot stopped paying. Hopefully they come back soon and be happily surprised like I was.
