[off-topic] Hmm, where are issues about the Emoji Twitter bot tracked? Is there a dedicated project in WM Phabricator? Or is it at https://github.com/rosalieper/twitter-bot/issues ? :)

There is not a project for it (yet). There could be. @rosalieper what do you think?

@ArielGlenn sounds good. I will then go on and request one hope there is no issue with that @Aklapper?

As twitter User stream API is no more available. The new API is AAAPI (Account Activity API) and can be used with a premium account (Free sandbox). Which twitter approved. The account name is "Wikimedia" and the development environment name is "dev". the bot/app name has not change : WMCommonsEmojiBot
