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!

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.

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.

@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.

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access (and other reasons), here's a reminder that you can still submit your #CreativeBots to Botwiki, even if they're no longer active.

https://botwiki.org/submit-your-bot

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

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.

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.

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 next week.

If you've seen a screenshot of outrageous Twitter API prices floating around, that is specifically for the existing Premium Search API that provides search access to tweets from the previous 30 days. This is (supposedly) a superior product to the "standard" search functionality that exists in the soon-to-be-discontinued free API. As far as I've seen, the pricing of the "paid basic tier" has yet to be announced.

More information about the Premium Search API can be found here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/premium/search-api/overview

The attached screenshot shows the subscription options for the 30-day Premium Search API offered in the Twitter Developer Portal.

@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
