Duplicate Status Error: Users Tweeting the Same Tweet Across Multiple Accounts

[maxdemaio]

Basically someone or some group owns multiple "@garage" accounts for language. They tweet out the same content at more or less the same time in multiple languages. Since we're retweeting them, it seems like we're spamming since the text is the same (despite 2 languages, which doesn't seem to matter).

For now, I will keep these users banned until an alternate solution is found. Unfortunately, we will not be able to retweet their duplicate tweets because of this error.

Example tweet 1 (1620150411725250564):

スーツケースを詰めなければいけません。 Suutsukeesu o tsumenakereba ikemasen. I need to pack my suitcase.

Example tweet 2 (1249460011991883776):

Мне надо упаковать чемодан. I need to pack my suitcase.
