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 @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 @timtfj Thank you! *bows*

@CiaraNi @timtfj If it is horns you want then this might do the job.

@CiaraNi @timtfj Or maybe better suited to the "Morning Happy Campers" style start up routine at the beginning of the day?

@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!"

@the_wub @CiaraNi No sound at all is suitable for the start of any day! Not if it's audible, anyway. (I suppose sounds below the threshold of hearing are OK as long as they stay there, unamplified.)

@CiaraNi @HowardGees Eugen playing noughts and crosses with a creepy clown doll…

@Janet_52square
weatherishappening could have Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising."
@CiaraNi @dheadshot @afewbugs @timtfj

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

[colesstreetpothole@weatherishappening.network]

@Janet_52square @CiaraNi @dheadshot @afewbugs @timtfj What about jorts horse? Mr. Weebl's "Amazing Horse"?

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@ColesStreetPothole @CiaraNi @dheadshot @afewbugs @timtfj now have to look that up.
Damn you Fediverse, damn you all to hell. I have gardening which won’t garden itself you know!!

@ColesStreetPothole thanks! Found it - of course he’s the Narwhals guy. Now putting phone away and going outside!

[colesstreetpothole@weatherishappening.network]

@Janet_52square Yup, same here!

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@the_wub @timtfj Definitely too loud and lively for me as morning wake-up call, let alone a 'time to sleep' signal. Nice music, though!

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@BenCotterill @HowardGees That's quite the image

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@Janet_52square Instance anthems - great idea.

@dheadshot @afewbugs @timtfj

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@rstub Yes, me too. That's what was I imagining. Not a 'screensaver' style graphic with any kind of movement, but a good old-fashioned static test card.

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@amiserabilist Ha - nice. The Alt Text too.
