Guess what — Mastodon & @bbcmicrobot are in the news.

BBCMicroBot is a fun bot that started off on Twitter in February 2020 — although it is on Mastodon now.

People send it BASIC code — and it runs it and posts the result!

Many use it to create "pixel-art"

BBCMicroBot migrated over to the Fediverse in Nov 2022, as part of the Twitter-migration.

The Register

@reiver thanks for the mention! We preemptively moved to #Mastodon November 5, 2022. I think the Twitter API changes were a few months after that - but we had already left.

Thanks.

I updated the post to reflect that.
