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 ...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.

@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 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. -

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

@CiaraNi This needs to happen.

I was all in support of this until I read:
"Even the reply guys will come back well-rested."
Can we send them to bed so late they don't rise until we are ready to sleep? Imagine reply guys meeting and inter reply-guying. Will they implode?
@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'

Oh I wish so much for that.

@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.

@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.

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