Doing some tests to restore twitter motorsports bots.
Full text search activated!
Instance have been migrated to a new and more powerfull server.
We are now running v2.5.0rc2.
Next steps:
- Try to run elasticsearch for full text search
- Reopen registration
The instance server disk fills faster than expected.
Sorry about today's cut.
I will anticipate the migration of the instance to the new server.
Expect some service disruptions and outages within the next 24 hours.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Everything should be back in order for the GP of Monza. 😉

@RaceControl I thought the bots for the main series were quite useful a) to not have to go on Twitter to keep up with them and b) because toots by bots could initiate discussion. Having said that I agree that a disadvantage of #Mastodon is that it doesn't show the number of answers to a toot directly and that stability of the instance is more importan than having the bots active. I'd still like to see them back once there is headroom in terms of performance & time to manage them.
Je ne suis pas opposé au retour de quelques bots de compte twitter si il y a un public pour et l'instance peut herberger des bots maintenus par d'autres que moi.
Faites part de votre point de vue en répondant à ce pouet.

Je pense qu'il vaut mieux favoriser le contenu propre au fediverse plutôt que de reproduire celui provenant de twitter. Je ne compte pas passer plus de temps sur cette question et plutôt me consacrer à améliorer la fiabilité et la stabilité de l'instant, entre autre via sa migration vers un serveur plus puissant (plus d'information prochainement).
À plus long terme je souhaiterais mettre en place un bot qui repouete lorsqu'il identifie un mot croisillons en rapport avec le sport automobile.

Le format n'est pas bon pour cela, ne serait-ce que du fait qu'il n'est pas possible de voir directement si quelqu'un a répondu à un pouet depuis la timeline. Il faut d'abord déplier le pouet, ce qui rébarbatif lorsqu'il y en a autant.
Puis sont arrivé les problèmes d'instabilité, les script qui se stoppent sans raison ou qui saturent la timeline avec le même tweet en boucle.
Après avoir testé différentes solutions sans en trouver une satisfaisante, j'ai décidé de stopper les bots.

À propos des bots miroirs de comptes twitter sportifs
Lorsque j'ai ouvert l'instance Mastodon Racing, j'ai créé plusieurs bots reproduisant les tweets de comptes officiels du monde du sport mécanique.
Le but principal était de stimuler la discussion autour de l'actualité sportive automobile en permettant aux personne de commenter directement depuis leur compte mastodon.
Bien que ces bots étaient suivis par plusieurs centaines de comptes, ils n'ont jamais permis favoriser la discussion.
🔽
I'm not opposed to returning some twitter account bots if there is an audience for and instance can host bots maintained by others than myself.
Share your views by responding to this toot.

I think it's better to promote fediverse-specific content than to reproduce twitter-based content. I do not intend to spend more time on this issue and rather devote myself to improving the reliability and stability of the instance, among other things via its migration to a more powerful server (more information soon).
In the longer term I would like to put in place a bot that replays when it identifies a hashtag related to motorsport.
🔽
The format is not good for this, if only because it is not possible to see directly if someone answered a toot from the timeline. First you have to unfold the toot, which is annoying when there are so many.
Then came the instability problems, the scripts that stop for no reason or saturate the timeline with the same tweet loop.
After testing various solutions without finding a satisfying one, I decided to stop the bots.

About motorsports twitter accounts mirror bots.
🇫🇷 Version française plus bas ⏬
When I opened the Mastodon Racing instance, I created several bots reproducing the official tweets from the motorsport world.
The main goal was to stimulate discussion around the latest motorsports news by allowing people to comment directly from their mastodon account.
Although these bots were followed by several hundred accounts, they never encouraged discussion.
