Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/268

Like the title, it would be awesome if Insomniac could avoid interacting with the already followed users, even the users followed
by users.
I didn't find any references to this in the doc, so I'll describe a scenario.

Scenario:

The user trying to interact with User x, this one follows mutual users, so these will be on top of the list and the interact script will interact.

Desired

Add the possibility to add some flag (like -skip-mutual) in interact, for examples:

--interact @natgeo-following-skip-mutual.

I'll try to implement it myself, and send a PR, but I think this is could be helpful for tracking or other devs.

Looks like we already have this feature: use filters: "skip_already_following_profiles": true
