5 years ago Hey there.
Twitter handles username changes smoothly. Old tweets made by you under your former handle still show up.
As for capturing records, I don't think we should do that. People change. They have the "right to be forgotten". A tweet is their property. If they decide that they aren't happy with that tweet, they're free to delete them. We won't force them to keep history alive.

5 years ago Oh, sorry. My earlier comment about the right to be forgotten was misguided. I thought this was the repo for http://oldtweets.today 😅
For deleted tweets, I don't think we can/should do much,except maybe not sendinjg the reminder. If they deleted the tweet, then they obviously aren't interested in being reminded again.
But I'm not even sure there's a need to cancel the reminder. Doing so would mean first making an API call to check if the tweet is still there before sending the reminder. Not worth the added opverhead. Better to just send a "dangling" reply.

5 years ago " If they deleted the tweet, then they obviously aren't interested in being reminded again."
but what if I set up the reminder to remind me about a Tweet that you deleted? Yet I still want/would expect to be reminded about it.. for whatever reason the tweet you deleted meant something to me...
I could see a use for this.. I can not stand broken links and hate being left curious or not remembering why I tweeted something etc..
First off, good work on these bots man! 🎉
I don't know if this feature is already in here but this is my suggestion. Some people delete tweets (or even change usernames, not sure how Twitter handles such refs). However, a screenshot for the tweet be stored somewhere, using something like Puppeteer?
Or should this be a separate bot? 🤔
Storage will be another bridge to cross when we get there... I'm thinking of some hacks around this.
