Question

Who is safety owl?

Answer 1

Just a friend...

Explanation:

Safety Owl is actually a bot that the team designed to help with moderation. The bot is similar to Link Owl, which was designed to edit answers and add links to Socratic content.

If I remember correctly, Safety Owl helped with comment/thank-you note moderation, but as far as I know, the team shut it off some time ago.

So I'd say that Safety Owl was a tool that the team used back in the day for moderation.
