When this app receives a bad gateway response from the configured Nitter instance, it seems to consider all Tweets, regardless of age, as new and sends them to the Feed Webhook. Note there is a lot of log spam and I'm not 100% confident in the cause.

github.com/TheLovinator1/discord-twitter-webhooks@eab4e6f67e is related, I'm sure.

Hi, sorry for that

It is because of github.com/zedeus/nitter@cc5841df30

That commit increased the amount of tweets (11 before, 19 now) in the RSS feed on Nitter, so my bot started posting tweets that was older than the last oldest tweet

I made a commit (github.com/TheLovinator1/discord-twitter-webhooks@eab4e6f67e) that disabled the bot to try to minimize the damage

Updated the title to better reflect the situation, I didn't put too much time into understanding what was happening haha. Thanks for minimizing the impact, looking forward to everything being back up and running!

It should be fixed in github.com/TheLovinator1/discord-twitter-webhooks@a494d8457f, I am now checking if the unsent tweet is older than the oldest sent tweet, so this shouldn't happen again

Sorry again for the spam
