Another favorite bot of mine has moved to fediverse: @winampskins

It posts old WinAmp skins, along with a link to a working in-browser version you can play with. Great for a dose of late 90s and early 2000s amateur graphic design nostalgia.

Caveat: No alt text on its images. Mot sure how you'd automate that, and ML taggers would be missing the point entirely

@darius Do you have a list of bots you've made that are on Mastodon?

@darius @winampskins Nice little hit of nostalgia. I favored the skeuomorphic skins myself, along the lines of these two:

@darius @winampskins Winamp! ⚡ Nice little bump of nostalgia. I favored the more understated, or might I say "classy" 😏, skeuomorphic skins like this one:

Sorry, but having a bot forwarding messages doesn't make them part of the Fediverse.

@darius Thanks for sharing this! I use Qmmp, so it's nice getting some interesting Winamp skins to use with it.

@darius @winampskins yes!!!! This is wonderful. As someone who still uses an ancient version of WinAmp under Wine for my main MP3 player this is my catnip!!
