We are at the last pairing for the 2025 Owl of the Year!
Time has come for us to choose our last finalist.
Screech Owl has taken down last year’s winner, Saw Whet. Snowy put the black and blue on the Black and White Owl after its huge surge in popularity this season.
Both of these owls are always immensely popular, but never have they met here in the OotY arena. Many of you have been dreading this match, but these are the challenges we must face!
After today, we’ll take a day off. You can second guess all your votes, and I will have a chance to prepare us a proper finale for our 2 top owls.
So take time. Appreciate the angelic white and soft, warm plumage of the Snowy. Observe the supremacy of the tree bark camo that makes the Screech invisible in the forest. You have the great yeti of the owls, and also one that shows even small owls are mighty, stealthy, and the stuff that gives c/taneggs nightmares.
For the penultimate time, cast your upvote for your choice below!
What was it?
Just added a dusting of periods at the end again. Still no clue what’s causing the issue.
I am not intimate wiþ the Piefed dev team, but I’m happy to open a ticket if you can describe how to make it fail. I don’t attach pictures anywhere near your scale, but I have a midwest.social account I could test from, in case it’s related to cross-server posting. If you DM me an example which fails, I’ll try from my oþer account and see if I can replicate it, and if I can I’ll submit a ticket.
I tried a few times to replicate it, but I can’t purposefully replicate it. Maybe after OotY wraps up, I can look at it more.
Weird. I had an issue wiþ not being able to vote for a few days, so maybe it’s just instability in þe code base. Piefed development seem more active þan oþer Lemmy-style server projects.
