Oddbean new post about login | logout Hmm I'm not convinced bots are the solution to anything lol but at least it's addressing the correct question imo. How about a bot that lets you make a bot of an account you want to see the content of? (Does / did anyone here even follow the top followed twitter accounts anyway? I doubt that it.)
This is for newbies, normies and people who just want to see what Bad Bunny ate for brunch in his Bahamas villa last Sunday mate.
The normie is a mythological creature. And/or even if they did exist, my guess is that they would probably never be here, even if you made Westworld theme park of twitter mirror bots to follow. Still think letting users here make bots of actual interesting people could work. It may be an injection of different topics / discussion starters. Although it might just end up a clone of b!tcoin twitter lolol. Oh dear we have 50000 Michael saylor bots. 🤔 I don't know, just my thoughts, it's worth doing as a project anyway.
you had me at Westworld theme park 😎
Most big accounts will already have a bot on fedi that you can follow and it's best not to reinvent the wheel because nitter is very limited now. Did you have anyone in particular in mind?
Not to sound like a hipster lol, but I doubt they would be cloned, just going by your 'most big accounts' description. Erik Davis, Nick Land (lol), Nina Power ... Just a top 3 off the top of my head. Maybe they have been cloned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OK Outsideness apparently has 1 follower on fedi LOL @Outsideness. The other two I could force by following from a masto instance but yeah this is going to be a little impractical if the accounts you're thinking of aren't normie type accounts like Elon Musk LOL.
The feed for outsideness seems empty to me. Also I suppose a lot of the fun of that account is also the amusing reply guys. You realistically need a genuine ecosystem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You would need to follow the account for posts to start coming down the bridge. Mostr doesn't deliver posts until someone does.
Mostr doesn’t deliver the post until someone does what exactly? Oh is this one of those things that has Ethan Hunt going since impossible expectation like disclosing the speaker because Egyptian, vodka and whispers are free speeches? Oh is this a random question? So exactly what is the expectation for the post to be delivered? Asking for an amigo
Not delivering the post which is a federal service where disruption is treason by definition is questionable conduct to squeeze by. If argument?
Do you still post on the fedi side? If so you would need to follow yourself to ensure those Notes or Other Stuff would be Transmitted over the Relay known as mostr.pub.
‘nother thing that friends have done. federated feeds were gabs best feature before selling out, however, difficult to find a justified squeeze connection here with federal postal services mail delivery. Care to explain?
Don’t forget to wash those hands with soap though when dirty. Gagged as well that did. Or what say you, @alexgleason?
