Free trade, open borders, taco trucks on every corner. Latest discussion thread: April 2024 **We in m/Neoliberal support:** - Free trade and competitive markets
- Immigration
- YIMBYism – ‘yes in my backyard’-ism
- Carbon taxes

- LGBTQ+ rights
- Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal. Maybe you are too.

@theinspectorst @CoffeeAddict users that want to post to the magazine microblog from masto can give the hashtag (if I recall correctly), which I think is fine. I think a really nice bot for the integration would be a bot that follows and boosts the NL Kbin's thread posts in the masto server (to hack around Masto not understanding groups).
More Mastodon users using the hashtag to post to the microblog would be a great thing. So far we've not really paid attention to the microblog as it tends to get cluttered by crítics of neoliberalism using the hashtag (I think often those of the 'I don't know exactly what neoliberalism is so I'm going to use the phrase as a generic bogeymen for things I don't like' variety...)
A bot to boost our content on Mastodon would seem like a good thing, although now I'm wondering - do kbin boosts federate to Mastodon automatically?
@theinspectorst I think so, obviously only to servers that host someone following the person boosting the post.
I think this can work by listening to the magazine's thread RSS feed (or pinging the API) then using the masto api to have a bot user boost that post.
@OtherwiseJunk - since you've written a Masto bot for our instance before, does that make sense? Would you be open to adding it (or taking a PR to add it) to the Deep State Bot scripts or do you think this would be better in a separate bot?
@Neblib seems reasonable on the face of it.
I am 90% sure I put Deepstate up on GitHub, I'll grab the link, but honestly the api is fairly straightforward, only thing that would change is instead of listening to the masto api messages, evaluating them, and optionally replying you'd just be listening to whatever kbin provides and posting to the mastoapi
@OtherwiseJunk @Neblib
One thing you might need to keep in mind is the kbin API is not finished. I am not sure if you will need it to post mastodon to the kbin microblog.
I think @ernest is working on finishing up the API but I have no idea when it will be ready and he has a lot on his plate lol.
