It's Trans Day of Visibility everybody! We cannot even begin to stress how important our trans contributors are in pushing KDE's project forward.

Thanks 🏳️‍⚧️folks!

@kde as a representative of the trans community, I must ask you, is there an official KDE-tan mascot? This is important business.

(also thank you 💕 )

I don't think one was made, but that doesn't mean one can't be made!

@xan they do have two official mascots (which are part of an "open species" of dragons)
This wiki page details the two mascots and also the species in general

@kde @xan Most OS-tan are mostly for what their abbreviation stands for: Operating Systems, and in some cases individual applications, like Firefox-tan. I'm not aware of an OS-tan for KDE (which is neither it's own OS nor single application, but ecosystem).
