Mastodawn

I built a small AI assistant that drafts Mastodon and Bluesky posts for my blog.
After 40+ published posts, the most useful lessons were:
• Don't hand strategy to the LLM when you have almost no engagement data
• Treat it as an assistant, not an autonomous agent
• Human review matters more than sophisticated prompting
• A Python container is often easier than serverless
• The whole setup costs about €0.20/month
