FAQ

QuestionsAnswers
Why?Twitter is blocked in many places of work/study, and the mobile site can be a pretty horrid experiece. Posting the tweet and rehosting images allows users to bypass twitter entirely!
But reddit already inlines the tweet under an expando!Nope, RES does.
But why not u/tweet_poster?The original tweet poster has been shut down by its operator. This bot attempts to fill the void left in our hearts by the premature departure of u/tweet_poster
Why didn't the bot post in my thread?I try to avoid posting in threads that have the tweet in the title with a little help from fuzzywuzzy, but it's not perfect and may need further tweaking.

more stuff soon

That's the old bot that got shut off, I was referring to the new one.

What happened to the old tweet poster?

From my understanding, this unfortunately happened http://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/12vbhf/blue_jays_sign_maicer_izturis_to_threeyear_9/c6yhmuc?context=3.

My researching at the time indicated that http://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/12vbhf/blue_jays_sign_maicer_izturis_to_threeyear_9/c6yhmuc?context=3 happened first and http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/12vw0d/borderlands_2_coming_to_mac_november_20th/c6yrfnb?context=2 was a comment made afterwards.

I'm not 100% sure the baseball incident was even "the" post, it was just what other people who'd researched like myself were linking to and I couldn't find anything else. Searching reddit so hard :(

If they were that annoying, they would be downvoted more often.

How do you get around/avoid the Twitter 200 API calls a hour limit?

I just back off for a while if I get ratelimited, but I don't do anything to avoid it. There usually aren't more than 200 tweets posted in an hour.

Here's a graph of all comments I've posted in the last week at 3 hour intervals. I make a few more twitter API calls than that (I only post if the tweet isn't in the title, for example) but not usually enough to cause any issues.

Herm. I thought there would be more than 200 in a hour.
