@silver_huskey @blenderartists that’s a valid point. I also suspect that many followers are already inactive or bots.

I have decided to shut down the Twitter accounts for @blendernation and @blenderartists . With a combined following of 220k that’s going to hurt, but I can’t morally justify it anymore. More information will follow soon. #b3d #blender3d

I'd like to start posting the featured art from @blenderartists on Cara.app, but I can't find any API reference documentation to help me automate this. Does anyone know if this is possible? Retoot is appreciated!

I just ran a paid promotion campaign on X, which resulted in over 1M impressions, but practically zero clicks and TONS of replies from accounts that were obviously bots. X is over.

@botvolution I don't know what you mean, sorry.

We visited a derelict steel processing plant in Germany today (Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord) - the sheer scale, complexity and the hints at the insane raw power were amazing - highly recommend!

@Gargron while she can see their posts, she won’t be able to interact with them yet, right?

This just blew my mind: A road in Pompeii, built prior to AD79. The small white stones were designed to reflect moonlight making the road easier to see at night

@Gargron congratulations!!

@Gargron thanks for all your relentless dedication!

Twitter is deprecating their free API next week; this probably means the end of the automated news and art sharing on Twitter of the BlenderNation and Blender Artists communities on Twitter. But fortunately you can follow them here too :)

@Gargron congrats!

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron no problem! I noticed it this morning and just thought ‘that’s just growing pains, glad to be here to witness the journey’.

@Gargron Watch out for burnout man. Passion + ability to work whenever + social pressure is a dangerous mix. Take care of yourself first!
