Mastodon

There are two options for a Mastodon Capturer: A pure RSS reader or a full-fledged Mastodon client. A client would probably capture things send in private and such, which seem better.

Need to store, locally:

• id: Toot ID

We need only the ID 'cause we don't want to duplicate content; once the client finds a toot in its own database, it stops reading from the source and don't send it to the Store.

As content send to the Store, we'd use a template like

{% if content_warning %}
  ({{ content_warning}})
{% endif %}

{{ content }}
