I have a couple of questions for anyone that would use/view the posts of ResAnnounce fedi bot (this bot relays the Resonite team's discord announcements, devlog and update posts to the fediverse):
- Do you think that I should make the posts unlisted? Or just keep them public and have it federate normally?
- If a Resonite team member edits their discord message, should the bot reply to the previous version with the edited message, delete and redraft the post, or just completely ignore it?
I've decided to make it so it'll reply the edited message, but it'll reply as unlisted, without any media attachments. So that it won't spam people's timelines as much if someone decides to edit 5 times in like 30 seconds.
@lexevo would it be a good idea to delay posts by maybe 5 minutes so that if a post gets updated it doesn't need to be edited
@callmore Maybe. I'm trying to brainstorm how that could work in code. Probably separate the functions for message events and posting, then when a message (on discord) is posted, add to a list and give it a time to post (2 minutes in the future) then every 30 seconds or something, check the list to see if current time is past the latest time in the list, then aggregate all elements and post.
