Description

In instauto/example.js I see you have an option to set an excludeUsers array.

Is there any way to set this in SimpleInstaBot?

Alternatively, would manually adding all my current follows/followers to the [username]-unfollowed.json file in ~/Library/Application Support/SimpleInstaBot cause them to not be unfollowed/followed by the bot?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with instauto/example.js and compare its excludeUsers option with the corresponding SimpleInstaBot behavior. Then inspect the [username]-unfollowed.json file under ~/Library/Application Support/SimpleInstaBot. Done should be a confirmed, documented way to exclude usernames without unintended follow or unfollow actions.
