So I got my first Mastodon bot up and running. Have to rethink how to use images, so it displays the default image differently than what I'm used to on Twitter.

@samplereality I really need to look into this. I'm not sure if I'm gonna build a new one or just start by porting an existing bot.

@mattlaschneider @samplereality what's the handler for the bot?

@elotroalex @samplereality I believe folks are using the tools @aparrish and @tinysubversions put together

@elotroalex @mattlaschneider There's a Python library to talk to the Mastodon api.

@samplereality @mattlaschneider @elotroalex So, what's a good Markov Python library these days? The last one I used was Speir's Markov-Tweet when I programmed @autoblake back in 2013. I basically want to create a really simple Markov Blake bot but have an expanded character set for Mastodon.

@rogerwhitson @elotroalex @samplereality Y'know, somehow I've never actually done a Markov bot yet. I'm betting @logoninternet would know, though!
