The recent mass Twitter hack/Bitcoin scam targeting verified celebrities leaves verified accounts without the ability to tweet. But they can retweet. This v simple script allows a user to tweet a message by retweeting it, letter by letter, from the alphabet tweeted out by this user: https://twitter.com/internetofshit/status/1283528365173948416
Here are the steps to making this work:
-
Download retweet.py and change lines 4-7 to your Twitter developer keys. If you're not a developer, you can become one following the steps here: https://www.extly.com/docs/autotweetng_joocial/tutorials/how-to-auto-post-from-joomla-to-twitter/apply-for-a-twitter-developer-account/#apply-for-a-developer-account
-
Run retweet.py from the command line, providing a message to tweet like so:
$ python FILE_PATH/retweet.py "hello world"
Just know, you can't actually retweet the same tweet more than once, so you're going to end up with H - E - L - O - W - R - D. Desperate times. The script works for at least one message lol.
That's it. Oof.
