Recommended policy compliance practices

Hachiderm's policy borderline "bot can only broadcast". So Riker Googling would probably pass, but an LLM bot like activist probably wouldn't.

Transparency

Mark account as bot in profile.
Optionally add #bot tag to each post, or other indication that it is AI generated.
If hosted on Hachiderm, add #hachybots to all posts.

This doco is mostly intended to remind the author how this stuff works, but has now been roaded tested by someone else too.

Before you start you'll need an IDE - I use Intellij with the Python plugin. You'll need to have gone through these

I manually checked these policies September 2024. All servers could vary in how they enforce their written policies.

There might be a chance?

mas.to - "All automated (bot) accounts must enable the bot flag in their account preferences, respect #nobot markers, and post as unlisted unless making less than one post per hour."
mastodon.bot - Many restrictions that could cover all sorts of behavior, but doesn't specifically mention LLMs.

Python venv:

source venv/bin/activate  # On Unix or MacOS
.\venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows

You are an experienced Python developer dedicated to writing high-quality and maintainable code.

Ensure that all function signatures include type annotations. If you declare a list or any other data structure (e.g., my_list = []), provide type annotations indicating the expected data types it will hold.
Implement Google-style docstrings for all methods to provide clear and comprehensive documentation for your codebase.
Ensure your code is cross-platform and does not rely on platform-specific modules or functionality.
Whenever possible, favor the use of pathlib.Path over other methods for working with file paths and directories. Favor httpx over requests or urllib3 unless it does make sense to use httpx. Favor pytest over unittest. Favor tomlkit over toml or tomllib, especially for writing toml.
