  1. Vielleicht will #ElonMusk gar nicht zum Mars, sondern auf #X eine Kolonie für Roboter gründen. Anders kann ich mir die Flut an #Spam-Accounts grad nicht erklären. Macht echt Spaß, Content für Algorithmen zu posten. Danke für nix. #TwitterBots #RIPTwitter #Twitter

  6. I just uploaded the final data backup from my Popular Twitter bots project: kaggle.com/datasets/fourtonfis

    It looks like it lost access to Twitter's API on April 27. It was fun while it lasted!

  7. "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

  10. 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:

    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.

  18. @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…

    “Are they undercover cops? Are they phishing scams? Or are they attempts to sow racial division?”

    They can be all three. Some cops may want to encourage more Kyle Rittenhouses. Grifters gonna grift. Racists are always trying to sow racial division.

  24. 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access (and other reasons), here's a reminder that you can still submit your #CreativeBots to Botwiki, even if they're no longer active.

    botwiki.org/submit-your-bot

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

  26. 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.

  27. 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

  28. @stefan

    Elon says he is going to enable a free "light write-only API for bots providing good content..."

    Who decides what "good content" is? Elon.

    Be a good bot or I pull the plug. Just more extortion of censorship.

    #twittermigration #TwitterBots

  29. If you recently migrated your Twitter bot to Mastodon, and your bot is on Botwiki, reach out and let me know so that I can update its page.

    And kudos, I know this is not easy!

  30. Ah, so now he wants you to produce free content for his dying, unstable platform, after threatening you, on a whim, to shut off your free access. I see.

    techcrunch.com/2023/02/04/elon

    In response, I will be discontinuing all my projects that rely on Twitter's API, and I advise you all to do the same, rather than let him decide their fate.

    #twitter #TwitterAPI #TwitterBots

  31. Such BS, do not fall for this. The fact that he can change the rules on a whim is enough of a reason to continue with your plans to migrate your bots away from Twitter's unstable platform.

    techcrunch.com/2023/02/04/elon

    Probably best to just turn your bots off and not let this guy decide their fate.

  32. I started working on this blog post a few weeks ago, and yesterday's announcement from Twitter about no longer offering free access to their API seems like a good reason to finally publish it.

    Here's a brief retrospective on my 8 years of creative botmaking.

  33. For folks considering moving your bots from Twitter to Mastodon, or other networks, what's your biggest challenge?

    #bots #CreativeBots #TwitterBots #TwitterAPI

  34. Well, time to say goodbye to the followers of my bots over on Twitter.

    I also have a little retrospective I started working on a few weeks ago coming up on my blog, looking forward to sharing that soon.

    EDIT: Ah, yes, of course, I got the date wrong, now I have to repost this. Thanks, Elon!

  35. I’ve just converted a Twitter bot over to a Mastodon bot and it was an absolute breeze 😎

    Mastodon’s API is wonderful to work with. If you’re using Node, I’d highly recommend masto.js: github.com/neet/masto.js/

  36. One of the first #Twitter accounts I ever followed was a bot that announced whenever a particular drawbridge in England was raising and what boat it was raising for. It’s honestly one of the reasons I stuck with Twitter in the early days — I was just very charmed by this insight into a mundane happening on the opposite side of the world. Without silly little #TwitterBots like that one, Twitter loses even more of what little remains of its tattered and fragmented soul

  38. @ai6yr thanks for doing this. I hope this #API change doesn’t stick. It’s hard to believe monetizing the few bots that will stick around will solve the ginormous interest payment due problem. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #TwitterAPI #Twitter #TwitterBots

  39. In November 2015 I created botwiki.org, a site primarily built around creative Twitter bots. It was truly heartbreaking to see Elon Musk take over Twitter and immediately start destroying the hard work of so many people and the legacy of what they built.

    And now, with his decision to end free access to Twitter's API, Botwiki is sadly fulfilling one of its stated goals.
