Sabertoot

Napkin idea

• Cron job polls your Twitter account and stores new tweets in database
• Server displays tweets on your own website and publishes them via the ActivityPub protocol
• You own all your words even if Twitter goes does
• People can follow your tweets from the Fediverse by following your ActivityPub user
• You can have an authentic Fediverse account by running it behind your own domain (e.g.: @dustin@dusted.codes)
• Should be easy to host via containers on your own server. Folks and organisations can can "own" their own little micro-blog for their thoughts or official announcements.
• Can be extended in the future to poll from multiple sources (e.g. Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
• Can be extended to build an interface to draft posts primarily here and then publish to other social media accounts

Sabertoot?

Mastodon is a woolly mammoth, but everyone knows that a saber toothed tiger is the cooler animal. A "toot" is what "tweets" are called on Mastodon. Get it?
