XKCDAltTextBot

With this announcement, @XKCDAltTextBot will be shutdown at the end of today. The source code will remain on my GitHub, and you can follow me on Tumblr. Thanks everyone! - @Racer_77 Follow me on Tumblr: at.tumblr.com/cam-rod/hey-th…

@xkcdComic @dghubble It's been an honour to tweet here for the past 4 years. This little bot has gotten me farther than I could've imagined, and it was your own work that inspired me to create it. Thanks @dghubble, and to adventures ahead. - @Racer_77

Hey folks, it's @dghubble. I've run this comic robot for about 10 years (but I'm NOT the author). The future looks grim for Twitter, and I’m planning to turn off this feed 🧵

...so I might miss a few more tweets than planned. But you can still follow my creator for what's next: at.tumblr.com/cam-rod/a-fres…

Hello everyone! Over the next week, I'll be migrating off of Heroku. There shouldn't be any disturbances, but in case I miss a comic or two, that's why. See you soon!
