-# Fediverse Nose Ears bot
-
-Posts the [Nose Ears](https://wuzzy.neocities.org/) comics to the
-fediverse. It supports comic titles, images and alt texts. 
-
-## Configuration
-
-To configure this bot, customize the first lines in the `noseears.py`
-script to your needs, such as by setting the `instance` varible and
-the `datadir` and `credfile` variables to indicate the position where
-the bot should store its data and the credentials file
-respectively. The credentials file can be generated using the
-`mastodon.log_in` method.
-
-## Usage
-
-When supplied with no arguments, `noseears.py` tries to fetch the
-latest nose ears comic. When supplied with a number as an argument, it
-tries to fetch the comic with said number, and if "random" is passed
-as an argument, it tries to fetch a random comic.
