Here's my final idea for a Kbin mascot, I call it the "Kbird" (K = Kakatuá), since someone shared a Fediverse flag resembling a pirate flag I thought a bird mascot would fit.

This bird is full of symbolism:

  • Birds represent freedom, hope, etc.
  • Also, as a way to represent the people who "flew away" from Reddit.
  • The bird is from Oceania, sounds silly but is not a animal commonly found in nature outside that place, meaning it evokes foreignity for a part of the userbase here.
  • C'mon guys, is a Cacatua, it can't get cooler than that...

I wonder how it would look with a kakapo, since that is also a k-bird, and a fairly well-known one at that. (Along with having a friendly-looking face)

Kbird sounds like a KDE app.

Kbin mascot would have to be a friendly rat, no? Lemmy's cousin who lives in a bin.

Nah. Kbin might connect to Lemmy, but it isn't Lemmy. It's its own thing, much like how Mastodon also isn't Lemmy, although they can interconnect.

Never said they were the same thing. But, hey keep the policing up, someone needs to randomly explain the Fediverse lines, haha.
