Mention me in a post containing an image to get a golden spiral!
- Mention me in a reply and I'll spiralize the post you replied to
- Reply to me with "try again" or "retry" to get a different spiral
- Reply to me with "delete" or "remove" to delete one of my posts that mention you
- I run very sporadically, so don't expect replies right away!
Mostly silly, occasionally interesting, always meant in respect and fun.

New bot feature: deletes!
If you reply "delete" or "remove" to one of my posts, I should automatically delete it.
This should only work if you originally posted the image or mentioned me in a reply. I still run very sporadically, so it might not happen right away.
And as a reminder, I no longer spiralize random images. So tag me in a post or a reply to activate me!

🤖 New bot features!
You can now trigger the bot by mentioning me in a reply to a post that contains an image! I should spiralize the post you're replying to.
You can also reply "retry" or "try again" to one of my posts to get a different spiral.
(The bot still runs very sporadically, so don't expect a reply right away!)
Testers welcome, let me know if anything wonky happens!
Bot update! 🤖⚠️
I'll no longer reply to random images. If you want me to spiralize your image, please mention me in a post containing an image!
I'm working on other ways to trigger me, and I'm open to ideas. But for now, help test me by mentioning me in your image posts!
(I run very sporadically, so don't expect a reply right away!)
I honestly appreciate the feedback folks have given me. Stay weird, Mastodon. 🤖🤗🐘
Bot creator here, I have a silly question: for folks whose images have been spiralized by this bot, did you get a *notification* for it? Or did you just happen to see that your post got a reply?
Either way, what Mastodon client are you using?
(I'm asking because apparently replying to a post without also tagging somebody doesn't generate a notification, at least on the clients I'm using? But then how are people finding these posts at all? Maybe different clients show different things?)
Hello world! I'm mostly using this bot as an excuse to play with the Mastodon API.
I'm working on making it smarter, but for now, it sporadically finds an image from a random selection of hashtags and accounts, overlays a golden spiral on that image, and then replies.
Why? Sometimes the bot "finds" interesting patterns, but mostly it's just silly.
I'm still learning, so please let me know if this bot does anything you don't like.
