Twitter Bot 5

Okay I’ve gone with a different version of the bot.

Before it would look at a list and just kind of do random things, now it’s a bit more interactive.

So you if you @vontonks on Twitter you should get some kind of a response depending on whether or not the bot is on.

Currently the first part is coded which, if there’s a new mention (it knows it’s new because it’s unliked), the bot will reply to the tweet and say something tOtALLy RaNdOm holds up spork.

The next thing is to check and see if that person follows the bot. If so, give them a follow back.

Oh and I’m about to torch all my followers.

Have signficantly scaled back my twitter use lately so it’s not on my phone or work laptop basically meaning I can’t absent-mindedly look at it all day every day.

But the thing is that it’s kind of necessary for work so I want to get back, but in a different capacity.

The problem with unfollowing a lot of people is that it takes a long time, manually so I made a script for deleting everyone. Just have to turn it on and watch what happens.

Then build back up, keeping the amount of accounts I follow in line with the amount of followers I have. For balance’s sake.
