# An rudimentary framework for an interactive fediverse bot
|
|
|
|
This code makes a few assumptions:
|
|
- you know how to use a linux command line
|
|
- you are familiar with and have worked with the python programming language
|
|
- have access to both
|
|
|
|
There are some relatively hard-coded variables in the code:
|
|
- the environment variable names, mainly
|
|
|
|
For now, this code does the following:
|
|
- listens to the user's home feed
|
|
- responds to specific prompts:
|
|
- will respond to various hellos
|
|
- will respond with a quote from a specifically-formatted, internet-accessibe text file
|
|
- will print and apprise of events on that timeline
|
|
|
|
In writing this code, I chose to use generic python modules instead of the well-known Mastodon.py
|
|
module - this way we can tweak the code based on our specific quirks if necessary and be less
|
|
dependent on Mastodon. As an example: I routinely test my code against GoToSocial as well as
|
|
Mastodon and Glicth-Soc.

It works! Where we go from here is still yet to be decided.
