Actually, after looking more closely at the Twitter examples, I think most of the usage that looks like vi is either just omitting the object or follows a structure like XをXがかまう. Definitely tricky. For now, I’m just going to mark it vt, since that usage is the obvious one.

I think sense 3 is vt,vi. Maybe more uses of vt but both are there.
