Thinking about creating a Mastodon instance only for automated accounts.
Wouldn't have to deal with replies, following accounts, or anything complicated.
I even had a comedy name picked out for it - but someone beat me to it.

OK! Want to self-host your own bots now #BotsInSpace is going away?
I've made the *simplest* possible server just for you!
https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
Upload two files to your server (index.php and .htaccess), fill in a couple of details, and… that's it!
This is designed for write-only bots. It isn't interactive, it won't store or reply to messages sent to it, but it will post hashtags, links, mentions, and images.
You can see the sample bot @bot
Feedback very welcome!
