Social.coop Bots - Progress and Guidance
![WM](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/988e14ed4a04a77a92ada95ba9b53da6.png?d=retro&r=pg&s=128)
A month ago, the community voted to enable an ambassador bot (https://www.loomio.org/p/CQ9c3Heg/enable-an-ambassador-bot-ambassador-). I have volunteered to take the lead on executing this decision. I will be using this thread to post updates on my progress, elicit feedback, and make decisions on the specific activities of the bot or bots that we create.

What should the social.coop ambassador bot do? Closed Wed 6 Dec 2017 6:14PM
Choose as many options as you like or add new ones. We'll work on prioritization after we decide on the goals

Mental note: Will need to take precautions with the cross-posting between Mastodon and the blog. Some toots will be cross-posted to blog posts, and vice versa. We need to ensure that endless loops of cross-posting can never happen.

Might be useful - Nextcloud tooted recently about how they used this bot to toot announcements of new blog posts. It's written in Python.

Hi! How is this proceeding? Is there any way we can help?

The original vote mentioned a specific open source bot, but there are several reasons I don't recommend starting from this code:
The first thing I want to do in this thread is get input about what you want from the bot or bots that we will create together.
