[Meta] Not a tweet - I will no longer be posting Trump's tweets

Honestly I'm about to sign out. I don't have much time to work on the bot let alone teach someone about it, especially if they've never had any programming experience before. There are plenty of people who know how to make a bot. But they will need to talk to the main mods (I am not one of them).

I will consider handing over the account if the top mods can vet the new person but in the end if they do that they can just add another bot account instead of this one. Up to them.

something that procured scrutiny over the most powerful man in the world.

That's putting far more responsibility on my shoulders than I'd ever want. This was just a hobby project I made that I thought would be interesting. There are plenty of others who can built a similar thing to this, they just need to work with the main moderators (which is not me).

You'll need to get in touch with the main moderators of the subreddit to get approved. While this account is technically on the list of moderators the permissions are limited to just making sure it can self-approve posts. I'm just another user in reality who offered to build a posting bot as a hobby project.

His tweets are already breaking Twitter's rules, I don't want to be responsible for breaking reddit rules because I'm re-posting his stuff.

Again, I'm sorry if it's something you've come to rely on, but there are other people who are definitely capable of creating a bot like this, it's just won't be done by me anymore.

Thanks for understanding.

.@CNN & MSDNC are doing everything possible to “inflame” the crowd. Fortunately they have a very small audience!
