It is recommended reading for anyone who cares even slightly about the state of the Internet, and especially any server admins and moderators on Mastodon et al. I agree with most of it, although there is one important point on which I think we differ slightly. I want to expand on that here.</p></div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>Larry</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">26 December 2023 - 4:19pm</span> <div class="node__links"> <ul class="links inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/blog/tangled-threads" rel="tag" title="Tangled Threads" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about Tangled Threads</span></a></li></ul> </div> Tue, 26 Dec 2023 22:19:58 +0000 Larry 333 at https://www.garfieldtech.com Mastobot: For your Fediverse PHP posting needs https://www.garfieldtech.com/index.php/blog/mastobot <article data-history-node-id="321" role="article" class="node node--type-story node--promoted node--view-mode-teaser clearfix"> <header> <h2 class="node__title"> <a href="/index.php/blog/mastobot" rel="bookmark"><span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Mastobot: For your Fediverse PHP posting needs</span> </a> </h2> <div class="node__meta"> <article class="profile"> </article> <span> Submitted by <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>Larry</span></span> on <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">23 January 2023 - 10:13pm</span> </span> </div> </header> <div class="node__content clearfix"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Like much of the world I've been working to migrate off of Twitter to Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse. Along with a new network is the need for new automation tools, and I've taken this opportunity to scratch my own itch and finally build an auto-posting bot for my own needs.
