I really should add something like this but with "Are you sure you really want to reply to this 2 year old post" 😅

Honestly, I'm wondering how would one boost a toot that old, considering how it isn't easy to get there.

This program posts news to thousands of machines throughout the entire civilized world. Your message will cost the net hundreds if not thousands of dollars to send everywhere. Please be sure you know what you are doing. Are you absolutely sure that you want to do this? [y / n]

@Gargron In the modern Internet, if a two year old post can be found at all, it means it's significant enough to deserve a reply. ;)

@Gargron "Do you want to spell-check before sending?"

This would eliminate at least half of the Qanon qult garbage I see on Twitter.
