Breaking character for a moment, because the Mastodon instance my bots are running on is shutting down soon. https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/
Does anyone have recommendations for well-run instances that bot accounts are welcome to migrate to?
My bots that need a new home include 🧔🏻 @RikerGoogling 👨🏻🦲 @picardtips 😠 @WorfEmail 🧊 @LocutusTips 🐠 @EmojiAquarium 🌺 @EmojiMeadow 🐐 @TinyPettingZoo 🧱 @EmojiTetra 🐍 @EmojiSnake
So, maybe you already heard about it, botsin.space will shut down somewhere next year. Around December, it will go into Read-Only and probably finally shut down around March next year... https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/ At the moment I don't know any alternatives to botsin.space and since we are posting images almost every day it's probably not wanted everywhere? So question to all of you, does anyone know alternative bot instances? Please add @Kuraiko@meow.social if you answer 🙂

@leadegroot @popchicken @picardtips one alternative from the answers
Okay, systems are up and running for https://botsinbox.net. Bot accounts can be bought through my ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/archdog for $1/month/bot. Feedback is _very much_ welcome and wanted! Currently limiting the number of slots until I'm completely confident in how it'll scale.
@gnuheidix @picardtips we do allow bots if they act according to the rules.
As far as i can See most rules are beeing followed except posting unlisted. But that should be possible.
I guess we'll also discuss if we make an offer to botsin.space to maybe continue the service for Thema in some way.
What do you think @ErikUden ?
My "Garak Quote Bot" (@garak_quotes) has its home at tenforward.social and I feel like your (Star Trek) bots would fit perfectly.
(If you migrate, please consider making a small contribution for the instance's maintenance)

It saddens me that the Bots In Space server is closing (for understandable reasons).
The bots I follow have added structure and a sense of passing time to my Mastodon timeline for which I am grateful.

https://botsinbox.net seems to be a good, sustainable host.
