Hi, i have a tw bot (@Recuerdamebot) that replies to users who mentions him.

The problem is that the users timelines (who follows my bot) are literally FULL of my bots replies. It’s annoying for them so thousands of people unfollows him every day

Sorry for asking help here, it’s not so related with the API, but I can’t find any other site to ask for help.

Anyone here has a bot and knows how could I stop my bot replies to be in peoples timelines?

Twitter should add that option in the new api…

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

This is a user preference so you can’t control how other people see tweets.

As far as i know, if a user follows your bot, and the person you’re replying to, they will always see the tweets.

It looks like you’re posting the tweets as replies already. The only other really roundabout way to do it is to use “nullcast” tweets using the ads API, this will hide the tweets from others: Tweets | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform i saw some other accounts use this functionality - but i don’t know if it’s available to everyone - someone from twitter on the Ads section might be able to answer that.

Oh okay, thank you very much. I’m gonna check it :slight_smile:
