83bot

It generates lewd 8.3 format filenames. Not much else to it.

Setup

1. Register an account on a Mastodon instance. Other instances that support the Mastodon client API will work too, like Pleroma.
2. Register the app. In Mastodon, go to Preferences > Development. Leave the redrect URI as urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob. Make sure it has the read and write scopes. Make note of the client_id, client_secret, and access_token.
3. Copy config.ini.example to config.ini then change the fields as follows:
   • instance is your instance's base URL
   • user is the email address you registered the bot with.
   • password is the account's password.
   • client_id, client_secret, and access_token are what you got in step 2.
4. Create a venv and install the required dependencies $ python3 -m venv ./venv $ ./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Run it! $ ./venv/bin/python3 83bot.py

Notes

83bot.py just posts once then exits. If you want to have it post regularly, set up a cron job or equivalent to run it as needed.

Posts are unlisted, so its posts won't appear in the federated or local timelines. The bot will use spoilers at present unconditionally.

83bot will update its config.ini if neeed to update its access_token if it expired.

Managing words

Use the scripts addword.py and delword.py to add or delete words in the main word list, or just edit words.txt directly.

For extensions, use addext.py or delext.py or edit exts.txt directly. Extensions should be exactly 3 characters long.

To prevent certain words from appearing in the output due to unfortunate word combinations, add those words to bad.txt.
