Would it be poor form to make a video-generating Mastodon bot? I want to be a good citizen re: storage needs/fees.

So with my little island generator, I've been thinking of having process videos accompany each output. A little egregious for a microblogging site, but if it was part of a webpage, it's not too bad. The question is, is it even interesting to anyone other than me? (Won't stop me if it's not; this kind of stuff is fun hobby work. But it does impact how much I care about quality.)

@sjml here is the thing: just ask your admin! for example @muffinista can answer if he thinks it's a good idea for a https://botsin.space bot

@darius @sjml definitely feel free to run things by me if you want to host a bot on botsin.space

@muffinista @darius Thanks! Still thinking about if it's worth uploading video directly vs. generating a whole little webpage and just linking to it.
