Random Mastodon Bio

Change the Mastodon description/biography programatically

How to?

Just drop it in somewhere and run composer install to add the dependencies.

Open the change_bio.php and edit those const and vars with your api keys and tokens:

// mastodon auth things
const INSTANCE = 'mastodon.social';
const ACCESS_TOKEN = 'your_access_token';

Then just run php change_bio.php and it will change your header.

It will explode since there is nothing to put atm, lets see how to add some sentences:

Adding biographies

If you read the code, it says:

// where are the sentences?
$biosFile = 'bios';

so we need to add in the file bios as many lines as bios we want. One line, one bio, no exception.

Take in mind the current limit is at 500 characters.
