@timtfj Maybe we need a Fedi-anthem. Three Blind Mice-like anthems mightn't be that bad. Easily played on home-made tin whistles and wooden recorders hand-crafted by the brilliant makers in the Fediverse.
@CiaraNi @timtfj My proposal for the anthem (to the tune of “Jerusalem”):
And did those toots in ancient time
Walk upon social networks' green?
And was the holy Mastodon
In this Web's pleasant pastures seen?And did the Mastodon Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded sights?
And was the Fediverse built here
Among these dark Satanic sites?I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my keyboard sleep in my hand
Till we have built the Fediverse
In this Web's green and pleasant land. -

@CiaraNi where can I get a huge wall-mounted lever that I can use to switch off my server? Every night I'll be like "pull the lever, Kronk!"

A Fediverse bot that posts a GIF at 10 minutes to midnight of your server administrator saying "Time now, everybody - last toots at the bar." At 5 minutes to midnight, Eugen flashes the lights. At midnight, Mastodon plays your national anthem. You stand. You finish singing the last line with a little cheer and go to bed. Your home timeline transmits the Test Card. The Fediverse will resume transmission at 0600 hours. Even the reply guys will come back well-rested.

@CiaraNi
Do we get to see a static test page during that time? I think I would like that. -
