Of course the real boon of mastodon is that there are enough characters to write this toot and:

Donde, está, la biblioteca. Me llamo T-Bone La araña discoteca. Discoteca, muñeca, La biblioteca Está en bigotes grandes, el perro, manteca. Manteca, bigotes, gigante, pequeño, la cabeza es nieve, cerveza es bueno. Buenos dias, me gusta papas frías, los bigotes de la cabra Es Cameron Diaz.

Yeah boi!



Mastodon: The official social network of dinosaurs. Or old people as they're sometimes known.

;-)

(in jest, no offence intended. I'm so old I remember when they invented the wheel...)

@CobaltVelvet @RebelMoogle Well I guess I got the wrong end of the stick on that one!

No matter, when I think of the octodon "tribe" my mind doesn't come up with anything logical anyway...if we were to mobilise in force, I think we'd be more like:

youtu.be/SBe1hwg7V-M

@RebelMoogle Well now I just feel stupid! ;-)

@CobaltVelvet Which Octodon is octodon.social? A mastodon with eight sides/trunks? A South American rodent? Something else?

@Averly Awesome! Looking forward to seeing what you do...I'm a bit rubbish at this stuff, but here's a second attempt going in a different direction-ish!

octodon.social/media/3nNDVgDFD

So I tried and failed, but here's an idea of someone to run with: Build a simple front facing mastodon head out of octagons... (I tried with various sized octagons for each of head, ears, trunk, eyes with subtle tonal differences for shading...got too messy though!...maybe I'll try again later in MODO instead of pixelmator...)

So does anyone want to design an octodon.social "tribe" badge? I'd like to have something to stick over my profile pic to declare my allegiance...

You know you're living the dream when your pre-lunch is:

What I have to say is that I like this whole federated thing. Gives you a way to belong to a tribe of sorts...

...of course I'm not sure exactly what this tribe's defining attributes are quite yet!

The way I know I'm still fundamentally a child: I kind of wish octodon.social was called OctoDong because it conjures up interesting imagery in my head...

The way I know I'm still fundamentally a graphics geek: part of me wishes it was Octagon instead...(but then I start thinking of The Octagon and Anchorman!)

So when I woke up yesterday morning, I had this in my head for some reason: youtu.be/BW3gKKiTvjs and just like that, I lose my toot cherry! Cheers!
