Here is a submission that didn't get picked up that looked interesting. Seen on Mastodon is a bot account that mirrors slashdot Twitter tweets:

Joined mastadon about a month ago, and enjoying it. @stegasaurus@home.social

This bot came across my federated feed: @slashdot@geeknews.chat

The heading on the account reads:

..... I'm a bot that mirrors a Twitter's account. Any issues please contact @jeroen

Simple and easy.
Maybe soylent can think about using the fediverse in a similar, or even better way?

    The point I thought was interesting was the idea of getting a presence in the Fediverse with a Mastodon bot that posts off of the RSS feed like the one someone set up for Twitter.

    Speaking of the Twitter bot: someone better remember to turn it off before Twitter's new API limits go into place and the bot starts to bug out.
