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."

@CiaraNi Our national anthem is a banal dirge that's only a couple of steps up from Three Blind Mice, though. Is there a way to choose something a bit more uplifting, or at least less downdragging?

@CiaraNi ...and at the time of shutdown the web page shrinks down to a tiny white dot in the middle of the screen before disappearing completely.

@timtfj @CiaraNi

Something like this you mean?

@CiaraNi As someone who posts at 3am I guess I'm the town drunk shouting in main street until the cops walk me out of town limits and says "go that way" out of town.

That could even improve birth rates.

@timtfj @CiaraNi UK based instances are offered the choice of The Killers Mr Brightside or Semisonic's Closing Time

@CiaraNi 10 minutes before midnight?! I don't think many pubs were allowed to stay open past 11.

@psneeze Feditips doing bouncer, tooting "Have youse no homes to go to?" at us if we don't log off quick enough

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@TrueNorthSpice I'm hoping the reply guys will be well-rested in the sense 'at peace with themselves, not needing to bother the rest of us', rather than 'rested and recharged for renewed-energy reply-guying'

[truenorthspice@mastodon.world]

@CiaraNi

Oh I wish so much for that.

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@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@mastodon.green]

@the_wub Oh yes

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@the_wub @timtfj That's more like it

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@Tock Haha - this being the community-minded Fediverse, there'll be no cops, just an instance moderator passing on their bike who stops to ask kindly if you need any help finding your way home.

@afewbugs @timtfj @CiaraNi

I used to go to a London bar that played Bela Ciao at closing.

@jlperuyero A rather radical way to expand the Fediverse

[commonsparrow@mindly.social]

@CiaraNi
We also need Jack Horkheimer the Star Hustler, but unfortunately I think he died. I can still remember the Star Hustler theme music, (Debussey), just before the station would sign off the air for the night.

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@afewbugs @timtfj I like this idea. An alternative Fedi-anthem for each country. Decided by Fedi-poll.

[jlperuyero@masto.nobigtech.es]

@CiaraNi
"Radical" is a flattering word for an old man like me!

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@CiaraNi @psneeze Carry on like that and you’ll have your mammy to deal wi’
