You block someone and then quickly unblock them, and it forces them to unfollow your blog. They can then follow you back, but it can sometimes be an effective method for quietly severing ties with people you no longer want to associate with.

I don’t do it, because, like, nine times out of ten, if I don’t want to associate with someone, I just block them for good–but other people do it semi-frequently I think.

…wait I never knew this was a thing :0

Tumblr does randomly unfollow people too though – I spent two weeks thinking one of my fave non-mutual blogs had stopped posting before I bothered to check and re-follow them – so if it happens it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve soft blocked you.
