Character study of the GoToSocial sloth, a future new member, when I'll be drawing the group of mascots of the Fediverse.

A digital sheet of concept with four time the same character: a tiny cute sloth. First post is happy with a little heart nearby their head. A pose expresses surprise. Another full body pose shows the sloth in a three, curious. Last pose is about the sloth eating leaves and being happy excited about it.
: They are really cute !
omg we need this as a Stickerpack / emojis
really lovely to see this work David! Would love to see Lemmy and PixelFred hang out with the Sloth
@liaizon Hey, Lemmy's license is what I could guess GNU Afero, along https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/src/assets/icons/favicon.svg file (used on the README). But each time I used Lemmy, I had comments about controversies about Lemmy's creators. So far, no report about the accusations on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software), so hard to know what's true or not. I prefer to not touch at the moment and let time clarify.

For PixelFred, I haven't found a clear license so far, all I have is https://github.com/pixelfed/brand-assets/tree/master , and nothing is mentioned.

@Anna
Hey @dansup would you mind giving us a clarification or adding a license to the pixelfred mascot? would be great to get @davidrevoy take on it interacting with the rest of the fediverse friends!
@8petros Hey, thanks for checking. Yes, their homepage lag a bit (like a sloth) to reflect the information on the README at the root of their project dev: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#user-content-image-attribution-and-licensing , You'll find the change done 4 month ago in this commit: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/commit/1603a7fd484bcf47818f388023610898d464a558 (because I asked to clarify the licensing of the mascot before reusing).

I'm sure an update to the homepage will follow soonβ„’.

@Anna
@8petros GitHub page of the project has a more detailed licence section: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#image-attribution-and-licensing

This section may be worth editing on the main page @gotosocial
@8petros @gotosocial Haha, typing it at same time ( β€˜-’)δΊΊ(゚_゚ )
@bob First time I met the project. Ok, I'll note it somewhere in a corner of my brain.

@Anna
yes indeed! Our website/landing page was just out of date, will fix it soon πŸ˜€
@wmd No, it's not a derivation. But it is in the "fair-use" area (like fan-arts): in front of a jury, it wouldn't be hard to tell the artwork has too many similar elements and so is copying the licensor properties. That's why in this case, it's more fair for me to directly license it and attribute in a similar fashion as the root material.

@Anna @8petros @gotosocial
so cute! I love the mischievous grin of the one on the right πŸ’–
I love this, such a cute character.
the art is pretty cute
in a future episode of Pepper&Carrot, Spider Admins should meet all those cute characters πŸ˜€ @Anna
The sloth is adorable! πŸ’š May I please add the picture with the appropriate information (author, license) to this repository harvesting Fedi mascot artwork? https://codeberg.org/fediverse/distributopia/src/branch/main/sticker-bay

It will be very kind if you include Friendica mascot Flaxy O'Hare in your Fedi mascots drawing 🐰

@lightone Sure! No problem. I put them under CC for being reused. πŸ’œ

Thank you for showing me the Friendica mascot. Do you know where I can find out about its license?
Flaxy O'Hare is licensed as CC0. It was perhaps a bit unwise to license it so freely, but I hope it will remain in use only by Friendica project. πŸ˜€
@lightone It's usually Ok for mascots. I found the source page https://wiki.friendi.ca/about/flaxy , and I'll try to credit creator @lightone , unless she prefer no πŸ™‚ (let me know Lightone)
lol, Ijust got my two neurons connected re-reading the discussion and realising it is you the creator. πŸ˜†

Yes, it's me 😳 My only wish is for this mascot to help spread the word about Friendica, so I care less about credits. If credits are present, it's great; if there's no place for them, no problem too! πŸ˜€
