Awesome Open Source projects on Mastodon.
Open Source
The Guardian MEWS 📰
@[email protected]Unofficial account of The Guardian newspaper managed by @to3k
MEWS stands for Mastodon nEWS 😉 #MEWS #MastodonNews
Each toot with news is thematically tagged with hashtags, so you can easily filter out topics that (don't) interest you.
If you are bothered by the presence of this bot on the local or federated timeline then you can easily mute it 😉
This is a #OpenSource project, so you can find bot's code on Github: https://github.com/to3k/mews-guardian
The Distraction Index
@[email protected]The Distraction Index publishes a frozen, immutable weekly record of U.S. political events scored on two independent axes:
🔴 A-Score: Constitutional damage (governance harm, reversibility, precedent)
🟠 B-Score: Distraction/Hype (media amplification, strategic manipulation)
When damage is high but coverage is low, that's a red flag.
59+ weeks of data · 1,500+ scored events · 210+ smokescreen pairs detected
Independent · Ad-free · Open source

@sssweather
@[email protected]@sssweather is the remake of an official 2016 research project, nowadays it's just a pastime. It works only thanks to gnu and free software, and it is based on public domain data coming via web from the respective instruments and scientific research groups.
Everything you see here is also stored in some of my databases. If you are paranoid you can also follow the second account @sssweather_test with more
details about the single event

Rzeczpospolita MEWS
@[email protected]Nieoficjalne konto dziennika Rzeczpospolita prowadzone przez @to3k
MEWS to skrót od Mastodon nEWS 😉 #MEWS #MastodonNews
Każdy toot z newsami jest tematycznie oznaczony hashtagami, więc łatwo możesz odfiltrować tematy, które Cię (nie) interesują.
Jeśli przeszkadza Ci obecność tego bota na lokalnej lub globalnej osi czasu to możesz go łatwo wyciszyć 😉
Jest to projekt #OpenSource, więc kod bota znajdziesz na Githubie: https://github.com/to3k/mews-rzeczpospolita

@[email protected]Industrialised information consumption apparatus, FOSS fanatic, misguided believer in a better world, and owner of too many opinions.
I would appreciate if you boost this toot
https://mstdn.social/@theeclecticdyslexic/116169411669556587 (even though it's old). My job right now is to replace gesture typing in #Heliboard; It helps to have more people contributing data, or spreading the word around!
If you follow me for Heliboard stuff, send me a message I will follow you back.
