Launching a social media bot for rules questions

I frequently post Magic rules questions on my personal social media pages, and several times they've proven surprisingly popular among players, getting widely shared and discussed. So I figured, why not make this a regular thing? I've set up a bot that will post a daily question on Bluesky, Tumblr, and X, wait a few hours for people to discuss it, then share the answer.

 

The goal is that this will help get people curious about the rules, keep them up to date with changes, and perhaps intrigue a few enough to look into becoming judges. If you have any suggestions on other things we should add, let me know!

(I tried to get it working on Facebook and Instagram, since those platforms also have a lot of Magic activity, but the Meta API is miserable and I couldn't figure it out. If you're a developer who might be able to help, please send me an email.)
