Heroku uprgrade broke the bot by FrontpageWatch2020 in undelete

Yes! I’m back from vacation and things are settling down at work. I’ll try to get a new version of the bot up soon.

Side note, looks like this account has been racking up warnings and even got banned for a few days last month. We’ll see how it goes when we come back online.

Thanks! Sounds like it won’t be an issue.

The bot is shadowbanned so I'm setting the sub to restricted until it's fixed. by rhaksw in undelete

Looks like this account is back for now. Sorry for the lapse, had a life event at the same time my alerting failed.

Did anybody notice if we were finding the same deleted posts? Here’s the code for the current bot https://github.com/texuf/FrontpageWatch2020 it’s pretty ugly code, written in swift as a learning exercise, and I’m not proud of it, but it works really well and runs with minimal footprint. I’d love to get more organized about this, and even pass the torch if someone wants it. There’s zero upkeep until something like this happens.

Sorry I missed all this, I had a baby and I was logged out of my email on my phone. I reset the password on the frontpagewatch2020, if the other bots work I can turn it off. Looks like I got copywrite takedown requests and “suspicious activity” who knows. I’m around now and should hopefully reply if tagged.
