Discussion on: How I Created Two Twitter Bots

Just an update I think you might find interesting Peter. My "Remember Us All" bot ended up getting suspended twice. Whereas my job retweeting bot is still going strong. Both are essentially doing similar actions on Twitter with similar intervals between tweets. The only difference primarily is the content. It looks like Twitter has a low threshold for content that falls in this category, which is interesting to me because the platform definitely doesn't feel like a neutral zone! Anyways, after the second suspension, it was becoming too much work to keep on appealing it and the bot is currently "sleeping" for the time being.

Very interesting. I would think the "First replies to Trump" arena is the most competitive and tightly watched area for bots on the entire site. So it's not totally surprising to me that the "Remember Us All" bot got suspended, especially given the subject matter and likelihood that people are reporting it.

Thanks for circling back here; I've been curious about this type of stuff for a long time.
