Allow "Bot tagging" by other Fediverse services #32

Closed HorlogeSkynet closed 5 years ago

HorlogeSkynet commented 5 years ago

Hey back, it's me again.

This change sets the created activities' actor type to Service to allow "bot detection" by other Fediverse clients. Mastodon (for example) tags as "bot" incoming activities containing this actor type (see here), since v2.4.0.

As this bridge (should) only create(s) automatically-generated content, I think its accounts should be tagged as "services" instead of real "human" entities (when such a detection is implemented).

Tell me what you think about this, bye (again) :wave:

This is a great suggested change. I'm going to test it with Pleroma and if it works I'll merge it.

It works! Thanks for the PR.
