blowhorn follow
Follow accounts on X, Bluesky, or GitHub.
blowhorn follow
Follow accounts on X, Bluesky, or GitHub. --limit 0 is target-only mode: the --target handle itself is followed and nothing else. With a positive --limit, --target is only the seed - the run follows up to --limit accounts drawn from that account's follower graph, and never follows the target. GitHub runs over the REST API with no browser, so its --dry-run performs the real follower walk and names exactly who would be followed.
blowhorn follow [OPTIONS]| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--ignore-risk |
boolean | false |
Run this once even if your Risk Profile would hold it (a daily cap, quiet hours, outreach turned off or a pause after a sign-in challenge). Only this run; your Risk Profile stays as it is |
--target |
string | Target account handle (comma-delimited when --limit 0) | |
--limit |
integer | 20 |
Max follows; 0 means target-only mode |
--platform |
string | Platform scope for 'blowhorn follow'. One of: bluesky, github, x, all ('all' means every platform listed here) | |
--pace |
string | Pace of the random delays between 'blowhorn follow' actions (page loads, typing, clicks, API calls): a preset name (fast/normal/slow) or a numeric multiplier (e.g. 0.5, 2.0). Resolved as CLI flag, then BLOWHORN_PACE, then defaults.pace in .blowhorn.yaml (normal when none is set); an unrecognized value is rejected before anything runs |
Also takes the shared flags: --config, --log-dir, --profile, --exclude, --headless, --chrome-launch, --headed, --dry-run, --verbose.
