No wonder I've had to block so many followers over there recently.
Cesspool of hate, fake accounts, and infuriatingly incompetent mismanagement.

I just uploaded the final data backup from my Popular Twitter bots project: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/fourtonfish/popular-twitter-bots
It looks like it lost access to Twitter's API on April 27. It was fun while it lasted!
"Twitter, somewhat accidentally, set itself up as a replacement for the public sphere. Now it has made it clear exactly what the cost of "free speech" is - alert bots are abandoning it." via @Edent

What are some bots you miss from Twitter that haven't moved to the fediverse yet?
À un moment, il faudra que ces gens comprennent qu'ils s'obstinent à rester sur une instance non fédérée et privée de certaines options bien utiles. Ce qui les fait rester là est un mystère.

It was good while it lasted.
I doubt I'll switch it to one of their new API tiers.
Twitter has revoked API access for #CheapBotsDoneQuick, killing thousands of creative bots & even making it impossible to login to retrieve source for lost bots.
Luckily I ported my own crappy #CBDQ twitter bot over to Mastodon last week via #CheapBotsTootSweet. The flow of nonsensical #BuffyTheVampireSlayer plots will not be interrupted:

Elon Musk's Twitter 2.0 claims yet another victim, this time a beloved tool for making creative bots.

Saying goodbye to yet another victim of Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.
"After 8 years and 58,440 bots... CBDQ has come to an end."

If you're able to get your bot's source code, you should be easily able to move it to Mastodon with Cheap Bots, Toot Sweet.

@rebekahtromble @intelwire it appears #EMuskovy does not want researchers to have visibility in how #Twitter is being used/abused. Now you need the be a nation state, large corp or criminal entity that can afford to “pay to play” in order to exploit the sheep who have decided to stay and are willlling to be fleeced in order to have more followers (most of which are bots/trolls)! What a sad joke…
Ich werd sogar von dem #twitterbots ignoriert :)
As folks slowly wind down their #TwitterAPI-based projects due to the changes to pricing and access (and other reasons), here's a reminder that you can still submit your #CreativeBots to Botwiki, even if they're no longer active.

Your work can still be enjoyed for its creativity and inspire others.

@trends Everyone porting over #Twitterbots today - be sure to retweet this on Twitter and add your info in the link -->
We calculated the Twitter reach of the #bots we tracked at the link below which have migrated to Mastodon ahead of the 2/9 free API shutdown.
Collectively that list has the reach of over 3.2 million followers. I suspect many will post on the 9th about the bots living on in the Fediverse.
I wrote a Twitter bot a few years ago that listened to the #HamRadio DX Cluster for International Marconi Day stations, and tweeted their frequencies as they were heard. It’s @IMDwatcher.. I haven’t activated it for a few years, but if I do again, I’ll port it to Mastodon first. #TwitterBots
