Blocking & Muting Management

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

Script Selection

Goal	File	Navigate to
Block multiple accounts	src/massBlock.js	Any page on x.com
Unblock all blocked accounts	src/massUnblock.js	x.com/settings/blocked/all
Unmute all muted accounts	src/massUnmute.js	x.com/settings/muted/all
Detect and block bots	src/blockBots.js	x.com/USERNAME/followers
Mute users by keywords	src/muteByKeywords.js	Timeline or search results
Manage muted words	src/manageMutedWords.js	Any page
Report spam	src/reportSpam.js	Target account profile
Remove followers (soft-block)	src/removeFollowers.js	x.com/USERNAME/followers

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()

DOM Selectors

Element	Selector
Block option	[data-testid="block"]
Unblock button	[data-testid="unblock"] or [data-testid$="-unblock"]
Confirmation	[data-testid="confirmationSheetConfirm"]
User actions menu	[data-testid="userActions"]
User cell	[data-testid="UserCell"]
Mute option	[data-testid="mute"]

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
