    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 agree that Kbin could use a mascot (not necessarily need a mascot), but IMO the current proposals are not furry enough in this year of the Fediverse of 2023.

      A folder isn’t “fun.” Like, reddit has the Snoo alien or whatever, and they went the extra mile of letting users represent themselves with custom Snoo avatars made up of preset parts like a character creator. It’s fun, and having a mascot here would be fun too.

        Reddit does have that… and it was implemented in like… Reddit’s 10th year of operation. It’s not a priority.
