Since Mastodon is open source, someone please fork it and replace TOOT! with something—anything!—else.
@samplereality Several of the instances already have alternatives to that verb.
@tinysubversions Yeah, this is where I get confused though. I need to make a separate account on those instances? And then add all my friends again, and they have to find me again?
@samplereality @tinysubversions I can't work on my bot now, but I'll try to do something over the weekend. I'm convinced that my BlakeBot failed on Twitter b/c of Blake's repetition and his run-ons.
@rogerwhitson @tinysubversions Pretty easy to adapt a Twitter bot to Mastodon using the mastodon.py module. I suggest using Darius's method for getting your bot's OAuth credentials: https://tinysubversions.com/notes/mastodon-bot/index.html. After that it's like 4 additional lines of code in your existing Twitter bot.
