I'm not joking about this BTW, and I think it would help me refine the messaging/channel protocol before trying my hand at the #Fediverse. The only thing is, I would rather not develop the whole client/server protocol for net play myself, so I was wondering if anybody knew of some kind of existing plain text protocol I could piggyback for this, possibly something with an existing Python implementation, and ideally with user@host name handling. Talk maybe? #askFedi

One of the things that made writing my #Machiavelli #IRC #bot easy was that I could work on an existing IRC bot infrastructure (the Machiavelli game feature was just a plugin). So last night I tried looking for something similar for #ActivityPub, browsing the botwiki website without much success. There are interactive bots, even open source ones, but I couldn't find anything that would allow a bot to be written with just some glue for something more sophisticated than an image poster. #AskFedi
