    Interesting:

    BotKit is a TypeScript framework for creating standalone ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

    I wish more open source projects would tell you what the thing does haha.

    Quite interesting that this functions as an independent AP server instead of using the c2s api like most other bots 👍

      Maybe you mean “bots using the ad-hoc APIs from the servers”? AFAIK, there is no server implementing C2S ActivityPub, so it would be hard to have bots making use of them?

        I am aware of that and explicitly didn’t write ActivityPub c2s api 🙄

          C2S has a very specific usage, and if you meant “regular clients”, you’d do better by qualifying the API you were talking about by specifying the application - i.e, Mastodon, Lemmy - than by throwing a meaningless term.
