Coding Challenge 118: Mastodon Fractal Tree Bot

From the creator

In part 1 of this coding challenge, I create a node.js Mastodon bot that posts images (fractal trees) generated with Processing code. In part 2, I revise the node.js Mastodon bot to post images (fractal trees) in response to user mentions.
