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.

a second uninstall has hit tiktok
reason being
i really thought that if i carefully curated my algo then i could avoid the shit that burnt me out in the first place.while there's so many trans users on there i'll miss seeing, the feed equally rewards engaging in content that I like and dislike. end result being a fuck-tonne of radfems talking mad shit about anyone that's not a cis-white woman. the general uptick in 4b bullshit (australian state media even had a fucking article about it) isn't helping that either...
so i think the healthiest thing for me to do rn is to just disengage
imma try to work past my lifelong posting anxiety and lurk less, i have gay takes that must be heard
it's overall been a negative experience for me and I've mostly kept it uninstalled for the last year or so. i justified it for a while because it shows me cool gay people but the comments on so much of it are just awful and i don't have the self control to not look at them
completely agree. i've seen some of the worst hate speech in some comments and i'm so much more sensitive about it now too
yeah, it manages to be on the level of like, 2008 youtube somehow which is wild. i guess the fact it's a bunch of kids could be a factor? idk but the algo definitely is kind to hateful comments but simultaneously censors you if you decide to be mean in response. feels like i can't say shit on there but bigots have free reign as long as they don't say bad words. "acab" gets autoremoved lol
