How to StatusNet
BitlBee has support for StatusNet, an open source social networking and micro-blogging Software based on the OpenMicroBlogging specification. It uses the same protocol as twitter, but defaults to a base_url pointing at an Identi.ca, and with OAuth disabled.
Note: since new Identi.ca doesn't support StatusNet API, you should change the API base_url to your active StatusNet instance. if you don't know what is your base_url address, follow StatusNet API Discovery.
To use your StatusNet account in BitlBee do as follow.
<nick> account add identica <handle> [<password>] <root> Account successfully added <nick> account list <root> 0 (identica): identica, <handle> <root> End of account list <nick> account 0 set oauth false <root> oauth = `false' <nick> account 0 set base_url 'https://example.com/api/' <root> base_url = `https://example.com/api/' <nick> account 0 set password <MyTopSecretPassword> <root> Setting changed successfully <nick> account 0 on <root> Trying to get all accounts connected... <root> identica - Logging in: Connecting
