mastodon-autoreject 0.0.2

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

installing

python3 -m pip install mastodon-autoreject

here's the pypi page

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
has_bio	boolean	if True, reject accounts if they do not have a bio defined. If False, reject accounts that do have a bio defined.
has_avatar	boolean	if True, reject accounts if they have a default avatar. If False, reject accounts that have a custom avatar set.
min_posts	integer	reject accounts with fewer than this number of statuses/posts/toots/whatever
max_posts	integer	reject accounts with more than this number of statuses/posts/toots/whatever
min_age	datetime.timedelta	reject accounts that are younger than the given timedelta duration
