In 4 days #rtweet will be archived from CRAN. Thanks to Professor Brian Ripley for delaying the process 5 days!
This will impact 6 other #rStats packages on CRAN.

First time ORCID adds a blog post I wrote (at @ropensci) because it is cited somewhere else! I still haven't found it where in the other blog was referenced (in 19/09/2023) ⁉️ .

You can now enjoy a post about upgrading #rtweet via a doi: 10.59350/600k0-ana71

Coincidentally, I'm working on it to see what to save from the API disaster.

Anyone using #rtweet for #rstats is capable of authentifying using auth_setup_default() ?

I can't manage to make it work, and I don't know if it's me, the package or #Twitter who are failing

Problem I just installed rtweet v 1.1.0 in a new machine and I cannot authenticate. When I run auth_setup_default() I get the following error: Error in httr::init_oauth1.0(endpoint, app, permission...

I know I saw some code to programmatically remove twitter likes, maybe using {rtweet}. But now I can't find it again. Anyone have a link? #DeleteTwitter #rtweet #rstats

I'm heading to the republic of Georgia (the Transcaucasian country, not the U.S. state) later this week to give workshops on #socialmedia research strategies for mass media & journalism faculty. I'm covering #Netlytic, #Communalytic, the Facebook Ads Library, @dfreelon 's #PykTok, and @kearneymw 's #rtweet - is there anything else I might be missing?

So, I have completed my migration across from #twitter and used a couple of tools 🔧 to help me in the process while I was waiting for my data to arrive.

Thanks to past experience with the excellent #rtweet package for #r & some basic #python scripts plugged into #tweepy -> I scraped my own timeline as an insurance policy & reset my timeline - including likes - using my developer account access. 🥸

Should I visualise my old data? 🤓

There is a heated debate on Mastodon around the #fedified verification list. Some objections revolve around eligibility criteria for inclusion in the list. To be on the list one has to either be previously twitter verified OR have 100k+ followers OR have 20k+ followers AND have the followers:following ratio at least 11:1. I checked how well the existing 500+ persons on the list satisfy these conditions. In short, not well.
