@Surasanji @arteteco By the way side note. I've been reaching out to famous STEM oriented people on twitter and asking their permission to mirror their accounts here. I figure this might get us some free attention through asking, but also lets us improve the content here and list the bots as "official" mirrors. In all cases I give a password to the individual (though im not sure any of them would login).

I'm trying to be very selective and only add people who agree. I also make the accounts unlisted.

@freemo @arteteco Makes sense. I've been banning the advertising accounts, typically. Particularly ones that are like foreign escort services.

@Surasanji

Yea what you have been doing has been great. For a while I was doing the same. Also if we are talking escort accounts yea thats a no brainer I think.

Just saying we might want to reevaluate that.

@freemo @Surasanji

I wanted to mirror some people too, like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris... I was just figuring out where to put the mirror bot =D

@arteteco

I have a special docker container on the server isolated and containing all the bots along with a cron job to execute them. I can add any bots you wish there. It is really easy to write bots for the container, in fact you dont even need to know its a container really jsut cron.

@Surasanji

@freemo
Thanks, once I have the bot(s) ready and the full permission of the twitter accounts I'll get in touch =)

@arteteco

Make sure you create the accounts here and test first before sending me the code to host. As ideally i would just copy it over to the server and it will work.
