Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.

The instance hosting Please Caption Bot is shutting down. Thanks to the admin for this wonderful space muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/2… 🫶🫡

We are looking to migrate. If you run an instance and can host an accessibility-focused bot with ~10k followers, please reach out here or @22

(Tech notes: the bot posts ~2 DMs per hour, and only gets toots (not reblogs/boosts) so not as heavyweight as you might think. We are very open to GoToSocial, Misskey, etc. instances. Not interested in self-hosting.)

RIP botsin.space

@khronos yes. the installer is built so the backend and UI layers are very separated, so this change doesn't actually affect kickstart support really at all.
