I have not implemented it, I am unlikely too - it has lost me users for not

The problem right now with an unfollow limit is that if they do choose to
reciprocate following (which is a practice I personally like to do myself
for the reasons stated - it's more than just etiquette. I do it because it
builds community and encourages conversation.), eventually some users will
