Some comments on here have been ridiculous, someone literally said that I should be fine bringing furriers up at work and got lots of upvotes. I hope they’re trolling and haven’t completely lost touch with reality.
Something being perfectly fine and acceptable, doesn’t make it okay at work.

Not my teams job, we won’t get time or budget for that

My client wants to ditch US tech and have a Open-Source division, so they are pro self hosting and open source.
It’s government, so they will frown upon that mascot, and won’t choose it as a tool.

What URL do I send my coworkers/management to where they don’t run into that logo?

End result: Anubis loses a paying customer and big client that throws tens of millions each year at software projects.

Did you read my post at all?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Oh my bad, I thought it was just another person pointing me to Anubis’s post about how to remove the logo.
Thanks I will look at that alternative

Jeeeze I do not even begin to know how to respond to what you just wrote.
You completely misread the situation. Nowhere did I ever say I came across as a creep, I’ve never had that in my life.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

People shouldn’t have to jump through that many hoops to recommend something, that’s ridiculous

Open-Source sadly shooting itself in the foot again because of hills they choose to die on.

Strawman
- Comment on 1 week ago:
My response was basically something along those lines. But it’s still DOA, because that coworker now has to sell it to their team, and they won’t.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Thanks yea I see there are some reasonable people here in the comments.
Nobody has suggested a solution to my problem, most responses just say that my coworkers need to grow up, or that I need to fight harder at work or some BS.
None of that address the Issue.

Thanks I’ve reached out to them using my EuroSky account on BlueSky

It’s not my business, and it’s not even them making the decisions. it’s coworkers

100% couldn’t agree more.
They’d easily pay 1000$ for a tool like this, and I’d be able to sell it to multiple teams. But after my experience recommending Anubis at work, I will simply never recommend it again until they offer something like you have mentioned.
It’s so frustrating.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
That would solve all my problems.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Even after doing that, Anubis will not get used. I am in the minority.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I am not jumping thought hoops at work to fight this battle at work.
IMO, Anubis is no longer a tool I will recommend at work until there is a URL I can point people to without that branding, it being paid is not a issue, work will throw thousands of Euro’s at the issue if they have to. But I will never risk that mascot coming up in a meeting again.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Sure, but at the end of the day Anubis will not be used, because of its branding.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Paying isn’t the issue, it’s convincing colleagues
When I try to do so they react weirdly and I am just left feeling uncomfortable recommending Anubis because of the reactions I get.

https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper That URL has all the same issues I mention in my post
If I could send them to eg. botstopper.com where there is no mascot to be found, then that would be a solution.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I have tried twice to push it, and both times I’ve gotten weird reactions because of the branding.
It’s not worth it for me to do that again, I wish Anubis had a paid version with a different domain and no cutsie anime girl branding. That would make it significantly easier to sell to me colleagues
- Comment on 1 week ago:
That is not always possible, or worth the fight.
Even if I was willing to go through all of that, not everyone is, so what happens is more people turn to cloudflare instead of something Foss
- Comment on 1 week ago:
In this case, it’s a different team reaching out to me for advice. So zero, and they potentially would have used Anubis, but given the URL and mascot, I doubt it.

That URL has all the same issues I mention in my post

Great career move, run around telling people to grow up.
