@paralithode hi! I'm Japanese and stay a long time in mstdn.club.
mstdn.club server's tooter produce crab elephant creature. Why?
First, It's a joke.
In Japan, Mastdon user called "ELEPHANT".
and CLUB (server name) and CRAB have the same pronounce.
So they enjoy talking about elephant and crab. (Some of them imagine that they are elephant.)
2 days ago, suddenly, one illustlator tied Elephant to Crab. (in japan, ELEPHANT called "zou" and CRAB called "kani." β†’ #zoni )

@Gothica Oh! thank you so much for this great explanation, I think I understand: mastodon + .club = elephant + crab = ZOu + kaNI!

That's pretty great, a special injoke mascot creature and meme for mstdn.club! I love hearing about how these things develop.

thank you! ζ‰‹δΌγ£γ¦γγ‚Œγ¦γ©γ†γ‚‚γ‚γ‚ŠγŒγ¨γ†
