    I was always under the impression that anyone with more than a few dozen Twitter followers had perhaps a third of our following made up of bots. Not all Russian political troll bots, obviously, but bots of some description.

    Certainly when I get new followers I do random profile checks and there are a fair few that make me think, '... okay, is that a person, really?' and I'm not a right wing hate tweeter. I just tweet about mostly crap football and occasionally tell people what I'm cooking for dinner.

      I usually just call someone a c*nt, and if my number stays the same (around 65, not that I care), then I am fine, as I usually warn actual people there may be some swearing.

        I'm not sure I would know how to go about finding out how many people follow me on twitter. I presume not very many at all.

              Well, the cull seemed to upset a certain Mr Vance and Mr Watson, so all's good.

                Just look at your profile homepage, ad hoc. The number's on there.

                  Yeah, but I'm not sure where that is. The profile homepage I mean. I never use the twitter website, just tweetdeck. (I did find it now, by finding a tweet I;d been mentioned in and clicking on my own name)

                    I don't think Tweetdeck has a front page, as such - it only comes with the desktop website. (I'm AFK right now so can't tell you the best way to get to there other than to click anywhere that your username or avatar appear.)

                    Has anyone else been shedding followers recently? I've lost about a hundred over the last three months or so, and I don't know whether Twitter has just been sweeping out bots or whether I've started to bore people at an even higher rate than I used to.

                        Of course, with ad being 75, homosexual, and lots of nudes on his profile.

                        Please! When I stalk, I don't get caught.

                        Incidentally, how did you like the bouquet?

                          Fucks sake. I'm only 73.

                            OK.

                            Why is "Len Goodmans'…" a thing on twitter at the moment?

                              This is an amusing thread

                                That’s the best thing ever.

                                  That is very funny.

                                    I semi-skimmed that thread and thoroughly enjoyed it.

                                      I almost creamed myself.

                                        I wonder if it is actually a very clever marketing campaign. I hope it's for real though.

                                          It’s phoney, alas.

                                            Oh dear, ad hoc, you've lost some followers since 22/2 - you're down to 2,679.

                                              I might have to end it all

                                                I am sure that I am not the only one who immediately thought of FF after this exchange

                                                  Ugh. We need @BrandsSayingBae to come back.
