Execute through `yarn toot` or `yarn node src/chat.js`. It cycles through all configured "buddies" and toots a message accordingly. Use your favorite `crontab` timestamp to fire off toots automatically.
If you'd like to let a specific buddy chat - for instance to configure them individually in your crontab - use the argument `buddy`:
`yarn toot --buddy [by-cool-buddy]`
The name shouldl match the `buddy` property in the config file (_not_ the `name` property: that's the buddy directory name).
### Packaged buddies

Optional config flags can be used in the chat function if desired.
There's a sanity check implemented: at minimum, each config should have name, buddy, instance, and oauthToken present.
## How to get an OAuth token from a Masto?Pleroma instance?
I've prepared a few utility functions in `registerApp.js` for you. First, call `await register()`, which prints an URL to go to. Next, fill in the client id, secret, and returned token, after granting the app access to read and write. Then, call `await fetchToken()`. Paste that token in the config file. Done!
