How to Block Fake Followers on Twitter (X)

You’ve built a great Twitter profile.

Your engagement is solid, your audience is active, and everything seems to be growing perfectly — except for one major problem: fake followers.

They might look harmless at first, but fake followers are the worst thing that can happen to your account. They clutter your follower list, flood your DMs with spam, and write meaningless replies under your tweets.

Worst of all, they hurt your credibility and make your account look less trustworthy.

Here’s what I did when I realized how harmful these accounts were — and how I managed to block them all safely with Circleboom Twitter.

Why Fake Followers Are a Real Problem

Fake followers aren’t just a minor annoyance — they’re a silent threat to your entire Twitter presence. Here’s why:

➡️ They send spam DMs. Most fake followers promote scam links, adult content, or phishing campaigns.

➡️ They write irrelevant replies. These replies can fill your mentions with nonsense, reducing genuine engagement.

➡️ They damage your credibility. If someone checks your follower list and sees tons of bots, it looks like you bought followers.

➡️ They hurt engagement metrics. Because they never interact meaningfully, your engagement rate drops — and the algorithm stops pushing your posts to real people.

➡️ They make your account look suspicious. Having too many spammy followers can even trigger Twitter’s safety filters.

In short, fake followers don’t just waste space — they drag your whole account down.

Why I Decided to Block Instead of Remove

At first, I tried removing fake followers one by one. But then I realized something:
Removing isn’t a real solution.

When you remove a follower on Twitter:

They can follow you again later.
They can still reply to your tweets or mention you in posts.
Their spam content might still appear in your notifications.

Blocking, however, is final.
Once you block someone:

They can’t follow you again.
They can’t view or interact with your posts.
They’re completely disconnected from your account.

That’s why I decided to block fake followers instead of just removing them.

But doing it manually was impossible — I had hundreds of them. That’s when I turned to Circleboom Twitter.

After blocking hundreds of fake accounts, I immediately noticed a difference:

My timeline looked better, filled with genuine followers and creators.

More importantly, it made my profile look more trustworthy.
When someone visits your profile and sees authentic followers, it leaves a much stronger impression.

Pro Tips for Keeping Fake Followers Away

Once you clean your account, keep it that way with these habits:

❗ Avoid following suspicious accounts back.
If their bio looks random or unrelated, skip it.

❗ Don’t engage with obvious spam tweets.
Every like or reply tells the algorithm you’re okay with that content.

❗ Regularly analyze your followers on Circleboom.
Make it a habit once a month to scan for new bots.

❗ Mute or block trending spam keywords.
Words like “airdrop,” “casino,” or “giveaway” are common bot bait.

Final Thoughts

That’s why blocking is the only real solution.
