"Technical chops" is what I saw it called on another thread here on SN.

Which is what I **don't** have any of. 

What I have had though, was a macro (obviously running on my local machine) that converts twitter links to nitter. Glad I can retire that macro now.

_Edit:_ On second thought, I might just keep it since it works on any site. Not just SN.

 (ignore the duplicate comments, was just testing)

If a post is a twitter link, it adds a comment with nitter links and stores the comment + item id in a sqlite3 database.

If the post already has a comment from the bot (by checking the database), it does not post a comment to prevent duplicates.
