tanglier is totally a word btw *checks dictionary* oh wow it really is
hmm… looks like the Python package for Mastodon can set the visibility of a toot but the Ruby gem can't. good thing @poem_exe is already a tangled mess of Python and Ruby because it's gonna get tanglier

*whispers* ok. the coast is clear
my pals and i are very interested in making art bots that address the ethical and social challenges of bots in social media and beyond. we're always talking about about these sorts of things, and it's why i decided to make my bot's tweets unlisted by default. https://botsin.space mentions one of our common principals, "Bots Should Punch Up" https://www.crummy.com/2013/11/27/0 If you would like to chat w/ or other bot makers like me look for the #botAlly hashag. :grin:
you followed RSS FEED
RSS FEED followed you back
is OStatus the common denominator for networks that can interact with Mastodon?
I'd like to have a semi-unlisted option, where a toot is included in the local timeline but unlisted in the federated timeline. use case: art bots on botsin.space #botALLY

such as it is
Amaroq what is this
saw a boosted post in my timeline from another GNU Social implementation unrelated to Mastodon. this is exciting
You can reply/boost/favourite toots from other Mastodon/GNU social instances by pasting the toot's URL into Mastodon's search box.

sweet, federation means I can stay logged in as myself and as a bot in the same browser session
✨ It's live! My start to finish guide for getting your own #mastodon instance up and running with Docker on Ubuntu 16.04: https://github.com/ummjackson/mastodon-guide/blob/master/up-and-running.md
I've tested this on both Vultr and DigitalOcean and the instructions should be pretty much copy/paste for everyone. Hope this helps some people! 😀
Good luck and feedback appreciated!! (cc @Gargron / @TonyNof / @david / @vielmetti / @lmorchard )
twitter, where toots are called "tweets" (ugh) will never take off because only one person can have each username
good morning mastodon! in honor of @poem_exe (my fav bot) joining the fediverse, here's my favorite non-programmatically-generated three line poem:
hello friends 🐌
