There are so many comments I may have missed the right thread but I hope Twitter doesn’t kill all automated and/or anonymous accounts.
I run one (@bostontimelaps1) and it has been such a fun project for the last year with nothing other than positive interactions with my niche group of followers - even a bunch that are obviously on the opposite side of the political spectrum from me.
Not to mention it has been a great learning experience building the automation and the content itself brings me joy to see tweeted automatically.
Had heard about maybe verifying this type of account. I’d be willing to pay to keep it going but I definitely don’t want it overly easy to tie it to my name for all kinds of dumb reasons.
- jmkni 4y agoI don't think banning them is the right move, but making it easy to clearly identify who is a real human and who is a robot/fake account would improve things a lot imo I think there is value in robots on Twitter, and there is value in anonymous accounts (for whistleblowers etc)
