mastodon-autoreject 0.0.1

An automatic follow request rejector for Mastodon

autoreject

a tool to automatically reject follow requests for mastodon accounts

criteria:

• account age
• whether a bio has been set
• whether an account is a bot
• no profile picture set
• min/max followers count
• min/max follow count
• min/max post count

important to note: this tool will never accept a follow request. only reject based on these criteria.

current working level

you can define criteria and reject via the API

defining criteria

when providing criteria to the functions that accept it, you provide a dict with the criteria to reject on.

If you don't want to reject based on a certain criteria, simply exclude it from the dict.

key	value type	description
min_follows	integer	reject accounts who have fewer than this number of follows
min_followers	integer	reject accounts who have fewer than this number of followers
max_follows	integer	reject accounts who have more than this number of follows
max_followers	integer	reject accounts who have more than this number of followers
