💬 Auto-Commenter

July 21, 2026 · View on GitHub

Automatically post comments/replies on tweets matching your criteria on X (Twitter).

📋 What It Does

This feature helps you engage with content automatically by posting relevant comments on tweets. It's ideal for:

  1. Monitoring accounts - Watch specific users and reply to their new posts instantly
  2. Keyword targeting - Comment on tweets containing specific keywords or hashtags
  3. Smart replies - Use a pool of template comments for natural variation
  4. Rate limiting - Uses random delays to mimic human behavior
  5. Duplicate prevention - Tracks previously commented tweets to avoid spamming

Use cases:

  • Engage with thought leaders in your niche as soon as they post
  • Build relationships by being first to comment
  • Promote your presence on trending topics
  • Support accounts you follow with timely engagement
  • Run engagement campaigns with varied responses

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNINGS

🚨 HIGH RISK AUTOMATION! Auto-commenting is MORE DANGEROUS than auto-liking. Spammy, repetitive, or low-quality comments will get your account restricted or PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED very quickly.

🔴 WHAT NOT TO DO

  • ❌ DON'T post identical comments repeatedly
  • ❌ DON'T comment more than 10-20 times per day
  • ❌ DON'T use generic/spammy comments like "Great post!" everywhere
  • ❌ DON'T comment on accounts that don't know you
  • ❌ DON'T run this 24/7 or on multiple accounts
  • ❌ DON'T comment too fast (under 30 seconds between comments)
  • ❌ DON'T use this for promotional/advertising content

✅ WHAT TO DO

  • ✅ DO use varied, contextual comment templates
  • ✅ DO keep delays between 30-60+ seconds minimum
  • ✅ DO limit to 5-10 comments per session
  • ✅ DO only comment on relevant content you'd genuinely engage with
  • ✅ DO mix automated and manual commenting
  • ✅ DO monitor for warning signs and stop immediately if flagged
  • ✅ DO have genuine, value-adding comments

⚡ Account Risk Levels

BehaviorRisk LevelLikely Outcome
5-10 varied comments/day🟢 LowGenerally safe
10-20 comments/day🟡 MediumMonitor closely
20-50 comments/day🔴 HighLikely restriction
50+ comments/day⛔ ExtremeAlmost certain ban
Identical comments⛔ ExtremeImmediate flag
Fast commenting (<30s)⛔ ExtremeImmediate flag

What happens:

  1. Script scans visible tweets on the page
  2. Filters based on your settings (keywords, replies, retweets)
  3. Opens the reply modal for matching tweets
  4. Types a random comment from your template list
  5. Posts the reply with human-like typing delays
  6. Saves commented tweet IDs to avoid repeat commenting
  7. Waits 30-60 seconds between comments for safety
  8. Stops when reaching your limit

🛡️ Safety & Rate Limits

⚠️ X (Twitter) Rate Limits for Comments/Replies

Commenting is treated MORE strictly than likes. These are conservative estimates:

ActionSoft LimitHard LimitRecommended
Comments per hour~10-15~253-5
Comments per day~50~10010-15
Comments per 15 min~5~101-2

🚫 Spam Detection Triggers

X actively looks for these patterns:

  • Identical or very similar comments
  • Rapid-fire commenting (less than 30 seconds apart)
  • Commenting on unrelated content
  • One-word or emoji-only replies at scale
  • Mass commenting on trending topics
  • Automated promotional content
Account AgeMax Comments/DayMax SessionsMin Wait Between
< 1 month514+ hours
1-6 months101-23+ hours
6+ months1522+ hours
Verified202-32+ hours

✅ Best Practices for Safe Auto-Commenting

  1. Vary your comments - Use at least 10+ different templates
  2. Keep delays long - Minimum 30 seconds, preferably 45-60+
  3. Add context - Include keywords from the original tweet when possible
  4. Stay relevant - Only comment on content in your niche
  5. Mix it up - Combine auto-commenting with genuine manual engagement
  6. Monitor closely - Watch for any warnings or restrictions
  7. Quality over quantity - 5 good comments > 50 spam comments

🔴 Signs of Trouble

Stop immediately if you see:

  • "You can't reply to this conversation" errors
  • "Slow down" warnings
  • Temporary restriction notices
  • CAPTCHAs appearing frequently
  • Comments not posting
  • Account locked warning
  • Shadow ban indicators (low engagement)
