This bot is going dormant. Will leave the account here for now. LFA folk DM me if you want the creds etc to take it over.

@jaykay109@mstdn.social yes, agreed. Mostly these items are caught by the folk at the archive and aren't listed as generally available to the public - this one snuck through. Usually they get flagged and are only available in person or on the site via membership - so this dumb bot doesn't just randomly post an image from it. We'll have better controls soon.

@jaykay109@mstdn.social thanks for calling that out, I deleted it. I'll look at how to add CWs in the selection part of the bot or ways to avoid the items that have various issues.
