Did some (more) playing with the Mastodon API last night.

Because it's a community of many folk, @DoESLiverpool does a little differently - we use it as a hashtag for people to flag their posts for inclusion in a weekly blog post.

We haven't got Mastodon support for that yet, so I've been adding it.

In the past we'd just assumed that anyone in the community who used the hashtag knew what would happen, but this time round we're improving things and checking for consent beforehand (as a one-off initial request).

It's now finding the relevant posts and asking anyone new for consent with a DM poll. I've worked out how to get the answers to that, but haven't finished the code to process that yet.
