@jlperuyero A rather radical way to expand the Fediverse
@CiaraNi
"Radical" is a flattering word for an old man like me! -
@psneeze Feditips doing bouncer, tooting "Have youse no homes to go to?" at us if we don't log off quick enough

@CiaraNi @the_wub Definite improvement! "The Padstow Lifeboat" by Malcolm Arnold would do quite nicely for this purpose, IMO. But ideally with a real foghorn. https://youtu.be/_qzYhRQbjPE?si=jysnonOgRrh8SwEm

@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.@CommonSparrow The deeply cultural, deeply nostalgic, often deeply patriotic sounds and styles of closing time in different countries and in different situations - at the pub, at the theatre, on the telly, on the radio.

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 This, except in stead of the national anthem it's a song Eugen thinks we'll all hate & it will make us leave of our own voliton, but we all collectively decide we love whatever horror he's playing & hang around to sing along at the top of our lungs...

Mammy is a word we use in Scots for mother.
I mean, in a familiar sense.
Is that the same in Danish?

All well. But.
1. Every fedi user can select their own timezone or we just use GMT?
2. Instead of a national anthem I suggest The Internationale.

@Janet_52square @Tock Haha, versions of that scenario probably do play out sometimes when moderators give someone a warning after some unacceptable tooting.

@martinkubler @afewbugs @CiaraNi Agreed, though that's a couple of hours before my typical bedtime.
