This Fediverse bot @FediTree has tried to adopt a social-norm around which people and accounts on the Fediverse to include.

@FediTree generates an image with a (Christmas?) tree in it, with the (Christmas?) tree ornaments decorating the tree being the accounts you recently interacted with the most.

@FediTree adopted social-norm is: it doesn't include accounts that have the #nobot hash-tag on their profile, or have set their account to NOT be "discoverable".

#DeSo #FediBot #FediDevs #Fediverse

Has anyone managed to create a bluesky bots and understand how to have hashtags or URLs? The syntax seems quite complicated. Just posting hashtag or URL as text just shows them as clear text once posted in Bluesky

#botmakers #bots #blueskybot #fedibot #mastodonbot #bluesky

I looked at this again and found that the two notes requested very often from my #microblogpub are those that I 'pinned' that can be found at /featured.

The rest are paths pointing to information about this side. Maybe it has been some kind of #fedibot?

Here's a #fail2ban config that helped me blocking the IPs:

# cat /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/manual.conf 
[Definition]

# cat /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/manual.conf 
[manual]
enabled = true
bantime = 14d

This seems to lead to a jail which isn't connected to a logfile and for which manually added IPs stay blocked for 14 days.

To block IPs I used fail2ban-client -vvv set manual banip $IP which leads to

# fail2ban-client status manual basic
Status for the jail: manual
|- Filter

fail2ban is integrated into my #yunohost and even though it doesn't come with the greatest documentation I'm starting to love it.

:ablobfoxloading: I just had the idea but no way to do it because I can't program for shit:

A bot that retoots a specific hashtag for twitch streaming (one that I currently don't see being used) that would be opt-in by default.

Is there anything like that or similar that's already available in a public repository?

when using misskey-rs i am getting the "invalid aid" error all the time when making requests. But still sometime posting a post for example works. Does anyone have an idea regarding this or any other material for making a fed bot for misskey (sharkey)
#rustlang #fedi #fedibot

are there any resources on how to make a fedi bot with rust?

Based on a conversation the other day with @mike, this weekend I created @scihub

It's a #fedibot that posts the latest list of working domains for #SciHub, feel free to follow or give any suggestions!

Ps. also to celebrate the awesome work of Alexandra and its recent EFF Award https://mastodon.social/@eff/111075817148342123

@izaya @cinebox VPN server, #fedibot host & #ircbnc are three options that come to mind.

Low-CPU tasks.

Too many bot requests and bot ideas.

I am going to end up with a ridiculous number of fedi accounts lol.
