How To: Remove Yourself From Stupid Twitter Lists

February 13, 2010 by Aaron 65 Comments

Twitter Lists feature allows you to organize your twitter followers. There are different ways that one can use them.   You list people in twitter list and other people list you in their twitter list too.

So its great to be listed in twitter list! but what happens if you’ve been listed under a list that offended you? Of course you’ve been love on twitter. Most likely there are some people that might not love you the way others do.

So they created and put you in a list that might “hurt” you.

Maybe like in the picture you’ve been listed under people with stupid mustaches and you got pissed or disappointed. There is one simple technique that you can use to remove yourself from these twitter list.

Here are the steps

1. Click on the twitter list that you’ve been listed on.

2. Click on the user/twitterer that created that list

3. Click BLOCK

4. Click UNBLOCK

5. Done! Check your twitter list and you’re not in the “stupid mustaches” or list that you don’t want anymore.

However there are some things that you need to know, blocking and unblocking will cause both of you to unfollow each other on twitter. That means you won’t be following them and they won’t be follow you anymore.

    FYI to people who can’t get it to work.

    You have to UNSUBSCRIBE from the list before the block/unblock will work.

    block.. refresh.. (click a couple of trends, chk profile etc).. then check the lists..

    then unblock the user if you want to…

    this only for those lists where u have been added unknowingly

    Actually what you have to do is first *unfollow* the list, then block them.

    Also, a tip… if you keep them blocked, they won’t be able to re-ad you to the list (yes, I had one of those trolls…)

    I appreciate your advice. Some **** had decided it would be funny to add me to a list called “domestic-terrorists”. It was really offensive and twitter didn’t provide any suggestions as to what to do.

    Bravo. Thanks. Other methods were confusing or simply didn’t work.

    The person who create the list disappears under different similar names. Search didn’t find him.
    Twitter should give us the option

  26. Sh0ni says

    December 20, 2015 at 3:05 am

    what if they’ve already blocked you?

  27. Samuel Furse says

    January 1, 2016 at 12:35 am
