TakeoverBot

Download fake local news sites, search for mentions of each on Twitter, and reply to them with an informative message.

A dumb "database" of CSV files is saved for recall.

$ cp template.env .env

# Add API keys

$ go run main.go

TODO

• Using an actual DB for tracking tweets sent (instead of a local csv file)
• Smarter rate limit handling
• Discarding old tweets (say older than a week)
• Possibly running in multiple threads (go func())
• Variations of messages posted
• User opt-out
• Exclude tweets from accounts that belong to fake journos
• Saving aggregate data for analysis
• Linking to a form to collect feedback
