     @critical @mametsuko one cheap way is toot-cli, a shell script and cron.

     @critical @ryan @mametsuko :blobcatadorable: what
     
     i just have sort pluck a random file from a folder, upload it and move it to a spent folder.
     
     ```
     #!/usr/bin/fish
     cd /home/icedquinn/scripts/posts/queue
     set post (ls -1 | shuf | head -n1)
     
     if test ! -n "$post"
     echo "Nothing to post!"
     exit
     end
     
     #curl -H "Title: Scheduled post sending" 192.168.1.133/stuff -d @"$post"
     toot post < "$post"
     and mv "$post" "../spent/$post"
     and echo "Posted $post"
     ```

     @ryan @icedquinn @mametsuko
     So I just make a dictionary of the words from all my posts, using 2 adjacent words as keys and the third word in the sequence as the value. Then I just let it randomly choose the value for the given key in the dictionary (since there will be more than 1 value for most keys).
     
     And that's it?

     That’s how I would do it, since I’m a bash guy

     @critical @mametsuko @ryan simple markov models are a big pool of states and each state can transition to any other state with a % probability.
     
     so for each word in each post you track the current word, the one after it, and count how many times you did "foo -> bar", then rack up these counts for each transition, and then when done you go over the transitions and replace the counts with a % based on how many counts that transition got compared to all others. one of these states is also a terminator.
     
     so you pick a random symbol to start at, roll a die, pick a transition from there, output the next word, repeat until done.
     
     this assumes you don't finagle a tool that does it for you. i just explained the theory of the models :drgn_science:
