I let Claude unfollow everyone on Instagram

Why

A year and a half ago I wrote Can’t/Won’t use Social Media anymore. I failed. I fell into the social media trap and wasted so much time on judgemental pricks. Now I’m leaving. Parially.

I will make my account public and post things I care about. Unfollow everyone. Except John Cena. He is right. No one can see me. I show what I want to.

Instagram gave me some good things and a lot more bad ones. It sucks you in and turns you into a different person.

I had no choice but to open it for marriage purposes. I had fun for a year. Now I’m cleaning it out.

I followed way, way too many accounts. About 1,600.

I’m keeping the account, though. The Instagram peasants still get to find me.

How Claude did it

I handed the job to Claude in Cowork mode and told it:

Lets start unfollowing the accounts from my account. All accounts. Except John Cena.

Claude warned me that Instagram would rate-limit me. It kept going anyway and finished the job.

I stepped in once, to log in. Claude did everything else, and it did it better than I expected.
