Now that octodon.social is one of the larger instances, I think its time we asked ourselves: What the hell is an octodon? All the other hip instances have unique logos... why not us?

I vote for a mastodon with 8 trunks.
Anyone else? No?
Just me then...
@NthTensor It could just be a roaming gang of eight guys all named Don.
@deadsuperhero @NthTensor 😂
Oh boy, maybe I should delete my octodon account. 😜
Octodon: Only Dons Allowed.
@NthTensor @NinahMarie but only eight. No hexadons, please.
@deadsuperhero @NinahMarie Please someone buy uniodon.social.
@NthTensor @deadsuperhero where is the chicken.social when you need it!
@NthTensor They're cute little rodent critters...
@MightyBigCar No kidding... that doesn't really mean that we /couldn't/ use a many trunked mastodon... does it?
@NthTensor Either an eight trunked mastodon, or an eight legged mastodon (kind of like the mastodon equivalent of Catbus) would be most excellent. It's just that zoologists might get cranky about having two kinds of octodon, just like they get grumpy when people call north american bison "buffalo".
@MightyBigCar You are right! An eight legged mastodon is much less of an eldritch abomination... good idea!
@NthTensor I keep going back and forth between 8 trunks and 8 tusks. Pretty sure the "don" refers to "tooth" in Greek, but the Github octocat logo kinda has 8 arms…
So I guess I vote "yes"?
To me it sounds more like the head of the cephalopod mafia.
@Gammapod Shhh! Dont toot so loudly... he is always listening...
:spy: :ear: :octopus:
@NthTensor clearly an octarine-colored mastodon.
HA!
NEERRRRRRRDDDDDD!

And wouldn't that be octAdon?
Or is octadon: to 'don' the entire month of october?
@NthTensor perhaps a very large #octorok
@NthTensor mobster Octopus with Mastodon trunks for arms was the first thing my brain visualized
