Status bots should publish a piece of information like "Current Montreal weather: sunny, 8C" just once, and then use `Update` to update the data, not post the same thing over and over again.

Status bots should publish a piece of information like "Current Montreal weather: sunny, 8C" just once, and then use `Update` to change the data as the world changes, not post the same thing over and over again.

That way you could just bookmark "Current Montreal weather" once, and it's always up to date.

Updatable information is cool.

@[email protected] maybe, but what happens if your instance hasn't seen it before? I like the historical data. What if i wanted to know yesterday's weather, but i fetched it after it updated for today? I mean I guess the same thing applies (what if i missed the CREATE activity of yesterday's weather) but at least then i could view on remote and fetch the historical data (tediously)...

@puppygirlhornypost2 That sounds fine. You do it that way, and I'll do it the other way. It's not like there can be only one status bot.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 I think there's a lot of experimentation possible. We're all used to streaming social platforms that don't allow updates, like chat systems or X. It would be interesting to experiment with updated data on a consistent basis.

@[email protected] How about a banner that updates with the last 7 days? Invoking something like imagemagick to generate a visualization to apply as the banner wouldn't be that hard and most software supports banners. I mean I kind of already do a "dynamic" profile picture I have a list of profile pictures with a perl script that rotates between them each Friday.
-
@[email protected] I now want to make a weather bot that shows the last 7 days in the banner damn it lol

@puppygirlhornypost2 doooooooo iiiiiiiit

@evan this is a really great idea! that way all federated servers will have only one post in their database
