Right now, different modules use Twitter Rate Limiting:

twitterbot.py
twitterDM.py

the twitter rate limit counter is a global var in tfglobals. Each bot checks if there is space for the next request, when it's their turn. This could lead to one of the bots being skipped all the time.

Can someone think of a better solution?

ah, according to https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/a/2008/what-does-rate-limit-exceeded-mean-updated.html the rate limit applies per account, not per app. #39 was very stupid.

on production, I put a counter into twitterDMs, which should log each request, directly after checking the rate limit. there was not one request. this shit is still broken. twitter DMs don't work because of this.

okay, twitter DMs don't work for other reasons. (details: #39 )

So let's keep this issue open if other problems arise.
