Twitter C/D

between my 4 bots id be paying a cool 1300 a month lol

well this is gonna thin my follows right out

Feel like not enough people are saying Elon is shutting down the twitter API to prevent people from using things like this to move to Mastodon https://t.co/pm8phwhr5N

being interviewed by buzzfeed as we speak hopefully this makes the cut

Pulling for you king

🙏🙏🙏

does that mean the twitter account that cycles through the lyrics of “the boys are back in town” is gonna die? idk if i can bear that!

yeah sorry

smh

it was a good account. always knew it was time to stop scrolling whenever i came across one of those tweets lol

occurs to me that this will also kill all the apps that professional marketers use to schedule track etc their tweets doesnt seem good for a site whos advertising is cratering, and it wont actually kill those apps which generally support multiple platforms theyll just drop twitter functionality which is so much worse than if they just died

xp we can do it here instead

[opening riff]

tho i guess twitter could make special deals with those apps except that its been reported that no one works there anymore who does that job lol

Guess who just got back today

Them wild-eyed boys that had been away

At least we'll finally be rid of that fucking "Eric Alper" bot. That alone makes it all worth it.

lol

maybe i can get a friend to text me the song line by line at 20 minute intervals for the rest of my life

Haven't changed, had much to say

but man, i still think them cats are crazy!

if the boys are really back in town they can afford to spread some cash around imo (pay the fees for repeat tweeting)

they can also pay for the africa by toto bot

Ugh going to miss this account too

I know, that’s a classic.

Customer: NICK NAME
DMV: CONEJO=RABBIT BUT IS VULGAR SLANG FOR MEANING PUSSY OR CUNT

Verdict: ACCEPTED pic.twitter.com/ZbeevFPsh8

although this bot will stop running on the 9th, we can all take solace in the fact that the boys will always be back in town. i will miss this bot and all of you who have followed it over the years. 💗 https://t.co/gW42eLNaNQ

I mean, she was steaming

Get your knickers down

DMV bot's over on Mastodon...

(As are a lot of other bots natively, from what I can tell.)

Bah

Good news!

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/twitter-bot-api-changes-killing-fun

Some bots are just pleasant and surprising additions to your timeline. [lag∞n] of Vermont runs @_restaurant_bot (random photos of restaurants from Google Maps), @_weather_bot_ (current weather conditions from randomized places around the world), @everygoodfella (screenshots of every second of the movie Goodfellas), and a few others. He also doesn’t plan on paying and is considering moving them all to Mastodon.

“It's over,” he told BuzzFeed News. “Bots are maybe the best part about Twitter! I follow a ton of them, they're cool and weird, and I will miss them. Fuck Elon, I never liked that guy.”

lagoon, of the Vermont lagoons

yessssssssss
lol

Elon Musk, hero of assholes

Just ~$100/month for API access with ID verification will clean things up greatly.

fuck elon i never liked that guy

good quote, for real lagoon. expresses something that is true that maybe some readers haven't thought of and has a funny ending

if i can do some small part of inspiring someone to fly a drone into elons head it will all be worthwhile

i volunteer as tribute

godspeed

did he…kill api because somebody told him he might be sexting a dude pic.twitter.com/LRUBjSgRH8

serious question to regular twitter posters: where is the tipping point for you where supporting team elon becomes more unpleasant than having this free service
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Thursday, January 19, 2023

have you purged twitter from your soul forks are you truly cleansed

forks, have you tried tipping more?

I tipped out thanks

i have 3 or 4 bots posting generative art and the worst part of moving them to mastodon will be asking someone to approve 4 botsin.space accounts

(actually the twitter server that posts for me has been failing to do so 3 days out of ever 4 lately so this will improve things)

What

Twitter is reportedly emailing businesses offering gold check mark verification for $1000 PER MONTH!

And affiliate account verification for $50 each per month pic.twitter.com/hohTPKLKdi
