EDIT: We’re going to attempt to organize a larger logo and spread the word further around various Fediverse services. I get that a lot of y’all are opposed to visiting over there. I’m pissed too, which is why I spent a lot of my day helping write “Fuck Spez.” I don’t think we’re going to contribute to Reddit’s revenue much, and I think at the very least sending a VERY public message that the Fediverse is here is a good thing.
I can guarantee you that there is not a single person who would look at this symbol and know that it is the federverse symbol, the let alone whatever the hell a Lemmy is without having already known exactly those things.
This is a vanity project, nothing more nothing less.
I agree with you on this point - there could have been more effective messaging, but I’ll take what I can get - it’s a significant step up from “fuck Spez”.
In my original post I suggested the more recognizable and iconic Lemmy and Mastodon logos as they have wider recognition than the concept of the Fediverse, and would draw people to specific instances as well as making a statement.
Yeah, but lets be honest now - 95% of social media falls under that classification. The 5% that isn’t is mostly found here, so I view this particular vanity project as a mission of mercy for those who are unaware of the excellence of the alternative in the Fediverse.
