Description
I keep re-following people that the bot already followed (and after X days unfollowed).
Is there a way to avoid that? So that once a user was followed and unfollowed it will never be followed again by adding it to some kind of list?
Otherwise, repeated follow and unfollow patterns on the same users will be noticed by the users that get followed/unfollowed multiple times.
This makes the bot very obvious and will lead to being reported...

Research direction
The issue does not mention files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the follow and unfollow workflow and how followed accounts are persisted, then determine where a permanent exclusion list belongs. Done means an account that was followed and later unfollowed is not selected for following again.
