my gratitude to all these wonderful bot toolmakers for making creative bots so fun and accessible :') i'd kind of lumped them all together in my head but it's so wonderful that multiple people have made it possible for this ecosystem work so well
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.

“#TwitterPoll: What should I do with this account now? 1. Run a different bot program from it 2. Use it as a separate human alt account 3. Let it lie inactive 4. Other (say what in comments)”
new known #CBTS behavior difference from #CBDQ: if you're hosting image assets on imgur, please source them as https://i.imgur.com/someURL because leaving out that "i." subdomain is causing the backend renderer to choke on a redirect. 🤖🙏
Does anyone know how to debug a cheapbotsdonequick.com bot? Asking for a fellow https://botmakers.org member.
