Good question! I think the big think that I would want is to clear out my incoming feed of people who aren't friends and family.

I follow waaaay too many people. Many of them are celebrities or politicians who really do not know me or care about me. Some are acquaintances from long ago, like high school or college. And others are acquaintances from tech who don't really know me or care about me.

So: 1. Do some clustering on my `following` collection. 2. Make lists for each cluster. I can then label them manually ("High school", "Breather"). 3. Make a list for "used to follow" just in case. 3. Unfollow any account that doesn't follow me back.

That's basically what I use "channels" in my "social reader" for. I do feel like it's about time to implement a more formal workflow for it now that it's been working well as is. aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/…
