Hey people!
Is it worth writing a post regarding deleting SE Twitter bots?
Slight quibble, the bot doesn't pick things "randomly". It has an algorithm and chooses things that seem like they might be worthy questions to share... whether it's a good algorithm is up for debate. Regardless, what you're asking would be difficult to implement and, to be honest, we'd be more likely to just remove the Twitter accounts entirely. — Catija ♦ 16 hours ago

@technastic_tc Well - there will be no new ones for various reasons
they're a bit of a legacy thing that some sites are a little attached to
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
Do you mean no new Twitter bots?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Yes
So - here's a really important question I ask myself for most MSE posts
What's the quality of life improvement that my proposed change brings?
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
Quality of life improvement?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
yup
How does it make life better for someone

Hmm..
I was reading your recent post on MSE..
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
the latest? :D
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
I never knew that you were an Indian..
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
XD
I don't exactly have it in flashing lights
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
I thought that you were a Singapore citizen since Singapore is mentioned in location..
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I'm a singaporean of indian origin
Singapore is a bit of a multicultural place after all, and we're a fairly major minority
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
12:56 PM
Yeah.. I know. Tamilians are popular in Singapore and Malaysia if I'm not wrong..
I do have an idea regarding the famous Murugan temple in Singapore..
Sorry... the famous Murugan temple is in Malaysia.. not Singapore.

@JourneymanGeek I'm just asking.. did you delete my comment on your post?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@technastic_tc the typo was fixed I think
as such, no longer needed. Unless I typoed twice
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
@JourneymanGeek yup..
The typo was only once..
Just my opinion.. some times it feels weird when someone deletes my comment. Just saying..
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Actually - that's a textbook case for a comment deletion
1. You made a correction you couldn't make yourself, since it was too minor
2. OP (me!) saw it, and edited, and flagged it (mentally) as no longer needed
3. a Mod (also me! So much hats! wow!) cleaned up an obsolete comment
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
No offence.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
None taken
but also, get used to comment deletions :D
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
1:31 PM
It feel different when the OP is mod.. haha..
@JourneymanGeek yeah..
Generally the OP might edit the typo and informs the person who commented. Then I'll flag for comment deletion.. So I'm kinda habituated to it.
My bad!
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
or the OP may NLN flag :D

I didn't check all 225 sites but if a question is tweeted event is generated does that mean the site actually has an twitter account? Or is the tweeted event recorded in posthistory anyway, no matter what?
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
I've never ever seen one on IPS, and we don't have a twitter bot... so I guess if the event is generated, it has one.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I could be wrong but...
Apparently SE had problems getting API keys at some point
rene
rene
yeah, I heard that
I guess that is why not all sites have twitter evernts
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
1:40 PM
so its mostly older sites that have a dedicated twitter account
rene
rene
I hand checked 4 sites
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I do know there's a human-controlled twitter account for SO - and they often post things
So hypothetically - how would a SE controlled bot posting stuff be worse than a SE employee posting things?
or a rando bot or meatsack posting things?
technastic_tc
technastic_tc
@JourneymanGeek yeah.. and the comment might take few hours to get deleted. seeing things happen instantly is new to me.

The SU twitter is alive and kicking
We used to have a SU Magazine as well, but that one is dead
rene

And that is only posts that get tweeted , right? Or do mods have an option to tweet as well on behalf of that account?
Shadow 10 Years Wizard

@rene only because our hands are too short. Right, @Rob?
@DavidPostill Magazine? You mean site blog, no? Where users could post or send articles?

@Shadow10YearsWizard It's like this.

Read the name.
DavidPostill
DavidPostill
@rene I've no idea. Looks like posts only so probably a bot
It's posting every 3 hours
Shadow 10 Years Wizard
Shadow 10 Years Wizard
@DavidPostill nice example from someone we all know... ;)
@Rob Hans
"s" isn't "d"
Or, a "d" is just missing?
Rob
Rob
3:47 PM
@Shadow10YearsWizard Yes, US pronunciation - so not "Hunzs", it's "Hands"; with an almost silent "D".

Hello! I have a question: Is there a post that explains how some No Longer Needed flags can get declined, while the comments get deleted anyway?
Thanks in advance!!!
