Does anyone know of a mastodon bot that propagates KC Metro alerts or Sound Transit alerts?
Maybe I'll try to create one, but i don't want to duplicate effort.
@kingrat this is one is my plans over the holiday break, I want to mirror arbitrary rss feeds + the wsdot/sdot traffic accounts (they're all I'm on the bird site for now). Probably going to try it out as a non-mastodon activitypub compliant server and see how that goes
@kingrat quick followup - I'm attempting to mirror the following twitter accounts:
@wsdot_traffic
@alerts_st
@soundtransit
@sdottraffic
@kingcountymetro
@kcmetroalerts
its using bird.makeup, there's a whitelist (if you try to follow other accounts the request gets rejected). If I'm missing any I'm more than happy to add them.
@zifnab06 okay, that was weird, following your wsdot mirror caused 30+ updates from that account to suddenly appear as the newest posts in my timeline. Not quite what I was expecting. I unfollowed and they went away.
