Ran the Grok bot on my X, and here are the results for my account.
67 accounts to unfollow and 85 to review. Overall, looking decent, but I need to follow more active people.
You can find the prompt below.
Thanks to Safz for this.
Cleaning up my following list today
Had @bot check all 7,498 accounts I follow
- 755 quiet for 6+ months
- 397 quiet for over a year
- 12 never posted at all
- 306 dead & not following back
- And other great metrics
The best part is it gave me a click-through list, so I just tap each one and unfollow β
> no scrolling, no guessing, love it π
Copy-paste prompt below π

if youre not using @bot youre actually missing out
I have been using it daily for the past 2 weeks with some good automations and some stuff to keep track of
but whenever i see something like this on my timeline, i just send the link of the post and thats it, grok bot handles the rest
it finds the bot that can do that, messages it to him and take care of everything, literally my go-to AI right now.
im surprised to say but i love this more than claude at the moment

Here is the prompt you can use ππ»
"Go through every account I follow. Flag the dead ones: no posts in 180+ days or never posted, and not following me back. Put accounts that are quiet but still follow me in a separate review list. Build me a page with each account's handle, profile link, last activity date, days inactive, followers, and whether they follow me back, plus a click-through list of the ones to unfollow."
Copy, paste, done π

Type of notification you wake up to when you are a member of @0xAlphaGEMs
This is only possible by community never stop and @CrypSaf pushing all the time
+900 applications now π
18 hours left β³
We increased flags from 5 to 10 for members, which makes filtering easier for us π©
> (and no, flags are not the only decision factor for filtering, but they help)
Vouches stay at 3; it's tight on purpose β
Honestly, I don't know how we're gonna filter this; it's gonna be tough
If you're reading this, you're more likely to get filtered (sorry in advance)
But we're adding a tracker for everyone who applied, so it gives you some edge for the next rounds π
+750 applications. 5 days left. 10 spots.
Some important info about vouches and how we review π
Take @floridapearl_ as an example. She's the most vouched applicant so far with 6 vouches.
Left is the member view, what every GEM sees: her card, X, Discord age, and vouch count.
Right is the team view. It has a lot more detail, and her full profile is open to me and the team for review.
How vouching works: (many asking) β
- Go to vault.alphagems.io/join?tab=β¦, find the name, and you get 3 vouches β
and 5 flags π©
- Max is 3 vouches because we're only taking 10 people
- Who you vouch for is hidden on purpose. We know some people get pressured or abused for vouches, so no pressure on anyone
- Vouch weight depends on your role: Temp 1x, GEM 3x, Honorary 4x, Council 5x
Privacy π‘οΈ
- Nobody can see the flags, only me & team
- Nobody can see the wallets, so no one gets doxxed
- You can still see each applicant's wallet rank, called "BAG" (collector, holdings, NFTs, etc.), here: vault.alphagems.io/join?tab=β¦
How we decide π
- We look at a lot of other metrics that stay hidden
- Vouches don't guarantee entry. They're a boost that helps me and the team spot you in the crowd
- Picking 10 out of 760+ is not easy, but we'll try our best to make the right call
Would love to get you all in, but it's impossible without ruining the community we built.
Didn't get vouched? Don't feel bad. It's a lot of people, and there's a new round every month π
GEMS ON TOP π
Lovely pixel art by @Natt_369_ ππ

Getting into @0xAlphaGEMs right now is statistically 3x harder than getting into Harvard.
There are still 2.5 days left on the Round 1 clock, and the GemVault leaderboard already sits at 854 applications for just 10 spots.
At ~900 applicants by the time the door closes, that is a 1.1% acceptance rate:
- Harvard: 3.6%
- Stanford: 3.9%
- Y Combinator: 1.1%
- AlphaGEMs: ~1.1%
Wild to see @CrypSaf and the team command Ivy League acceptance odds for a 10-seat community round.
WOW THIS IS CRAZY
The AI sounds really scary
The next chapter with AI is gonna be wild ...
It's the GEM review day π
- 3 Temps earned their GEM β
- 2 new Temps from Rock and Guests πͺ¨
- A few got kicked β
Honorary GEM update π
Long overdue for two amazing pixel artists π¨
- @Natt_369_ made so much GEMs art, always active, always giving back π
- @blurnplay made a ton of personal gifs and art for GEMs, always active, always giving back π
- And our Rock @0xnag1 is finally free after bullying him for 15 days π
Much love to both π€π€

Donβt kiss my ass
This applies to every KOL, creator, and founder:
Nice posts and supportive words are appreciated, but they donβt make you valuable or different.
βOh, but Iβve been engaging with you for a monthβ
Okay... and?
We appreciate the love, but weβve passed that stage (to some people)
The higher you want to rank, the more value you need to prove.
Figure out what people actually want:
Alpha?
WL?
Intros?
Content?
Conviction in something?
Holding?
Nudes?
Tools?
Bring something that moves the needle.
Attention gets you noticed.
Value makes you undeniable and gets things.
No disrespect, just level up π
