I can't stand it anymore! What does it mean when people add an :octopus: to a message? (I have a friend that likes to say: "well, that has tentacles...", but it doesn't seem to be how people use :octopus: here.)

i've asked the same question a while back: https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/113488-general/topic/mathlib.20nightly/near/193059045

I think part of it is that it inexplicably shows up in the popular list, although at this point I wouldn't be surprised if that is quite accurate

It's sort of an unofficial Zulip logo I think.

Reid Barton (Jun 02 2020 at 21:08):

at least, that's the reason it's on the Popular list (which I think is just hard-coded)

Okay, this is the best thread I've seen here thus far.
