# The Raven Bot A bot that posts lines of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem. The Raven is Public domain & available at [Gutenberg Project](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/17192). Currently posting at absolutly irregular times (but no more often than every six hours [to please our bot-instance overloard] (https://botsin.space/@muffinista/110378654504428500) to [@theRaven on Mastodon](https://botsin.space/@theRaven) Zero-width whitespace does the trick to post “empty” posts between the verses. ## Acknowledgements I couldn't have created this bot without the wrapper of [@edent](https://github.com/edent/Mastodon.py) – thanks a lot : ) ## A few words … This is my first Mastodon bot that triggers the API directly. I have some more bots floating through botsin.space: - [@creBotter](https://botsin.space/@creBotter) – a Markov chain bot (aka. ebooks bot), that samples my posts from @creohn@chaos.social - [@Diskotod](https://botsin.space/@diskotod) – posts the link every time something is published on diskotod.de - [@Kaffee-Egoist](https://botsin.space/@Kaffee_Egoist) - posts the link to the photo every time something is published on kaffee-egoist.de - [@KSilke_Bischoff](https://botsin.space/@Silke_Bischoff) – posts verses of the lyrics from the band Silke Bischoff
