Funny to say this when the article literally says "nothing wrong with mascots!" Out of curiosity, what did you read as hostility?

Oh I totally reacted to the title. The last few times Anubis has been the topic there's always comments about "cringy" mascot and putting that front and center in the title just made me believe that anime catgirls was meant as an insult.

  Honestly I am okay with anime catgirls since I just find it funny but still it would be cool to see linux related stuff. Imagine mr tux penguin gif of him racing in like supertuxcart for the linux website. sourcehut also uses anubis but they have removed the anime catgirl thing with their own logo, I think disroot also does that I am not sure though

    Sourcehut uses go-away, not Anubis.

Its nice that sourcehut themselves have talked about it on their own blog but I had discovered this through the anubis website themselves showcases or soemthing like that iirc.

        Yes, your link from four months ago says they deployed Anubis. Now actually go to sourcehut yourself and you'll see it uses go-away, not Anubis. Or read the footnote at the bottom of your link (in fact, linked from the very sentence you quoted) that says they were looking at go-away at the time.

We have rolled this out on several services now, and unfortunately I think they’re going to remain necessary for a while yet – presumably until the bubble pops, I guess.

        Oh sorry, Didn't know about the fact that you started using go away after anubis, my bad. But if I remember correctly, when you were using anubis, you had changed the logo of the anime catgirl to something related to sourcehut/ its logo right?
