oh, huh, guess that's the end for CBDQ! @XDevelopers/1621026986784337922
-
thank you, all of you botmakers - it's been beautiful
-
i will be figuring out how to wind things down in a sensible way, etc over the rest of this week. i will say, though, that cheapbotstootsweet.com/ exists, so porting your bot to Mastodon is a copy and paste away
-
i had stuff to do this week

-
@alphachar @martinpi @haikookies @OnAVampire well, it should still be running on Saturday... but will be a bit less of a useful thing to learn at that point
-
@martinpi @alphachar @haikookies @OnAVampire the thought does kind of make me want to organise a jam or a workshop or something. create some bots for them to die a few hours later
-
i should probably plug the new thing i'm working on, huh? it's called Downpour, it's a app for making games on your phone, with the same kind of simple and friendly vibe that CBDQ had. not finished yet, unfortunately, but you can sign up here: downpour.games

-
@oopsohno i love this bot so much, it still gets me how effective it is & how simple it is
-
@GenderValidator botsin.space is a good choice for a bot account! and thank YOU for making the stuff that makes it special
-
@oopsohno i've been expecting the axe to fall for a while, and the heyday was long before. but... yes. was fun, tho, eh?
-
@bi_stegosaurus thank you <3 it's been my pleasure

@pathos_p thanks for making them, thanks for being part of it. glad you had fun!!

@SkrivaFel there's always Mastodon, if you wanna get involved there? but... yes - definitely art, definitely worth making, glad you've enjoyed it.

@TheCodeTroll that is i think the only one of mine i've ported to Mastodon: botsin.space/@softlandscapes but: thank you. i'm very proud.

@TomNullpointer yeah, i'm feeling emotional just looking through my notifications, seeing all the fun bots people have made & care so much about...
-
@danhett god it is so fun to make something where lots of other people make weird and unexpected things with it.
-
@danhett (my pleasure)
-
@spacetravelbot @hologramvin should be doable with the unofficial APIs if you're willing to spelunk a bit. staff over there are happy for people to use the unofficial APIs while they're fixing up the official ones : cohost.org/jkap/post/949399-man-fuck-this
-
@hologramvin @spacetravelbot a joy to host them
-
@NoraReed same to you!!! an honour to host you.
-
@Camwoodstock not me... but i have made Tumblr bots before, it would definitely be possible if someone else wanted to pick up the torch
-
@MattWoelk it has been! longer than i would've guessed, way back in... 2015???

@hourlylemur so long, and thanks for all the lemurs

@LouisWainBot <3 (looking forward to my automated picture response)

@HourlyLizards lizards!!!
-
@HourlyLizards ahem. but yes, i'll miss it a lot too. i'll miss all of the bots. thanks for taking part <3
-
@logodaedalus and to you. cheers! been a good run.
-
i'm looking through my notifications and just marvelling at the sheer range and enthusiasm everyone put into their bots. lizards! mads mikkelsen! words from Kent! art, spaceships, lyrics, events in Hastings, anime, it goes on. thanks for making so so much from such a simple tool.
-
@algcifaldi 😭 this means a lot to me to hear. what else could you ask for??
-
@hologramvin @spacetravelbot that's very fair!! i'm not gonna port CBDQ to Cohost, but someone definitely could (and i hope they do)

@Sosowski @hownottodraw aw! that's great to hear! i think one of my favourite design features is that i tricked a load of non-programmers into editing JSON, but convinced them it wasn't code by putting it in a proportional font.

great thread, saying goodbye to the bots @pinstripeowl/1621429334996025346

@mrsambarlow when it works, it's a machine that prints money. but also it eats a lot of money. ideally less money than it prints... but you've got to have a lot of money for it to eat, first.
-
@mrsambarlow *holds hand to hear* what's that? the project i'm bootstrapping works on essentially the same principles? huh, that's unfortunate

@adamledoux i was waiting for it for a while, tbh. but also i'm very much in the "don't be sad it's over, be happy that it happened" state right now. that might change once it actually goes dead, tho!

yeah, i keep thinking about this too. especially since Twitter was one of the best ways to export images from stuff like the Switch @ashleygodbold/1621566579463884800
-
@genmon OpenLibrary is the API that Bookwyrm uses - imagine you'd still need to do some fuzzy match wrangling on top of that

-
CBDQ will keep running until it isn't practical for it to do so. that might be next week, that might be next month, maybe even next year, your guess is as good as mine.
-
@LovelySoftSnow maybe replies will stop working?? we'll see.
-
it's possible that the reply functionality will stop working, if it truly is a write-only API. replies requiring getting the notifications for an account, so it can see if there's anything to reply to. but i'm going to wait to see what actually happens before planning anything.
-
@OUTONO96 good luck! SVG is kind of an ugly hack in there (many many layers of escaping required), but you can do some fun stuff with it.

@frozenpandaman it's a two tiered name
-
@ayatoslove @nicolehourIy yeah - it might stop being able to check for replies, but will keep the regular posts. i mean, i assume, i don't know what the new API is going to look like, any of that jazz. we'll see when we get there.

Starting February 8, we will no longer support access to the tweet button, both web and in-app. API access will be available instead 🧵
-
@puppymoth it is so funny. the sense of timing!!
-
@jewishscorbus it's a joke about the fact that the tweet button was broken
-
okay, we have a bit more information now. It looks like CBDQ will no longer be able to post any faster than once every 30 minutes, and the reply feature will be removed. @TwitterDev/1623467618400374784?t=m9hV2fpX9VdlDXvCNbMxDg&s=19
-
@WincestOnCW yep, looks like it'll continue
-
@rabbit_ebooks @4ctivepain I read that as "per account", so it should be fine
-
@vectorpark i know what you mean! but seeing all the kids posting sadly about their bots when the shutdown was announced, i don't wanna ruin their fun just to push back fractionally on a billionaire.
-
@ArtisanalZeros @GamedPylori yeah - I think I know what the problem is, but I've been procrastinating on fixing it because of *waves hands*
-
@ArtisanalZeros @GamedPylori thank you for your patience!
-
@BigMeanInternet speaking as someone who works in videogames & knows a lot of queer game devs... idk, that doesn't seem like a good answer either.
-
@BigMeanInternet not really because it's unfair on folks' livelihoods, but... these same folks are happy to switch to campaigning against videogames, review bombing, harassing devs etc. they'd be if anything more comfy with that kind of stance than a pro-videogame stance.
-
@weldon1045 it's true! and i'm sorry about that - when it seemed like everything was going to break i got lazy about fixing it.

@florencesn whoaaa!
-
CBDQ notice: in preparation for the new API limits, I have now set "every 10 minute" bots to post every half hour instead. Will leave replies running until they start failing.
-
(have updated the website with notes on these changes, and have removed the ability to edit replies)
-
with the reply function set to break in a day or so... this is your last chance to tweet the word "frog" to me. i mean, you can tweet the word "frog" to me after this, it's just nothing will happen. i mean, i might respond, but it'll be me and not— i mean, you know what i mean @v21/1625096980199342081
