Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot.
She had fallen into obscurity, but was noticed by a Twitter user in 2019 and was redrawn as a fox girl. But as it turned out, Xenia was originally meant to be male! The original creator, Alan, was cool with this, saying “It matches the transition of a lot of the smartest, nerdiest Linux users I know” and “And sure, you made her trans!”.
So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that’s neat.

This is a wonderful idea, and would be a great way to expand the comm. I would definetly post about some big things going on when they happened. I could even do a reintroduction post, a lot has changed since the days of the EcoMaowist [comrade/them, they/them]
c/creepy is one I always forget about, but it could be such a flexible horror comm. I’m not much into horror (although I kind of want to be), and I can imagine there’s a lot of people who would be interested in those topics.
