TootBot Spicy Edition

A small python 3.x script to replicate tweets and posts from soup.io on a mastodon account. It’s based on TootBot: https://github.com/cquest/tootbot

The script only need mastodon login/pass to post toots.

For Twitter, it gets the tweets from RSS available at http://twitrss.me, then does some cleanup on the content:

  • twitter tracking links (t.co) are dereferenced
  • twitter hosted pictures are retrieved and uploaded to mastodon

For Soup, it uses the official RSS feed (e.g. https://metalab.soup.io/rss), then does some cleanup on the content:

  • checks if source is twitter and checks for duplicates
  • removes html stuff
  • looks for one picture in source link or in soup post and uploads it to mastodon
  • adds source url (if no source is specified, soup post is source url)

A sqlite database is used to keep track of items than have been tooted.

This script ist used by metalab: https://chaos.social/@metalab
