I was going to post this under @botwiki, but polls on that server are limited to only 4 options (can you imagine?), so let me ask here: (stefanbohacek.online)

I was going to post this under @[email protected], but polls on that server are limited to only 4 options (can you imagine?), so let me ask here:

Which social media APIs do you use the most nowadays?

@[email protected] i hit bluesky and masto but I'm all in on tracery even after all these years and so i don't touch API stuff directly very much. bluesky just got its own cbdq

@[email protected] Care to share a link? Will be good to add that to Botwiki.

@stefan i am paying to mirror them from here to there but am working on switching them over :)

@stefan oh and i should note if you're interested in the bot scene over there i'd be happy to share introductions + a lot of the most interesting bot-adjacent work is happening in labelers. someone turned the moderation labeler system into a rudimentary rpg

@nora Thank you for the offer! I definitely have to catch up with working on Botwiki and add a Bluesky section. There's already a few Bluesky bots on there.

Not too sure what the best way to connect would be. I did actually just create an account there - I don't actually intend to use it, but with fediverse hitting a bit of a slump, and Bluesky seemingly continuing to take off, I just wanted to park my username.

@[email protected] So unless some of the folks are also on here, here are other ways to get in touch with me: https://stefanbohacek.com/contact

Thank you!

@[email protected] Oh you KNOW my answer 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] No, please do tell :-P

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe just to clarify, I am asking folks who use each of the platforms' API, not just the platform itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API

If you're not sure what an API is, then you should pick "None".

Sorry for any confusion!

Personally, I am all in on the fediverse.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I'm curious as to how much bias there will be in this given it's posted in the fediverse, but then also I don't even use a bunch of those platforms and didn't realise some of the others actually had usable public APIs.

Anyways I'm predominantly Fedi but my bot framework can also do Tumblr because when I first created it (back when it supported Twitter) I wanted something else to prove I'd abstracted it to be enough to handle other platforms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] @[email protected] Oh yes, definitely expecting a heavy bias on here. Maybe even more than if this poll was posted on other platforms?

I'd love to compare the results, if anyone wants to cross-post this.
