@paregorios is it inappropriate to ask for a Pleiades project Mastodon bot (with a mix of systems status, project updates etc.)? I see institutional/project accounts as a missing presence in the fediverse. That may be in line with the Mastodon ethos of a communication space that is more in control of individuals, I reckon.

@steko

Yeah, I've been wondering about the #ToBotOrNot issue: in this case whether to create a #PleiadesGazetteer #bot for #mastodon.

I've actually been seeing what it's like to *not* follow any bots myself. Honestly, I kinda like it.

I wonder whether #RSS might better serve the use case (though obviously that would be external to a mastodon client).

Maybe some discussions with colleagues and users/admins on my instance (#sociacoop) will coalesce.

I wonder if @sgillies
has an opinion.

@paregorios @sgillies @steko

https://botsin.space/about looks like it's setup for just this sort of usage.

@sebhth @steko @sgillies

Aha!

that's where @ryanfb comes in ... which I guess is just cross-posting his birdsite stuff.
