Was my first impulse too, but looking at their app selection now, it seems kind of … inutile? Unsexy? Old?

Gotcha! Thanks for the ELI5 🙂

I’m confused, which is it?
The quality about the fediverse that I appreciate the most is the fact that nobody on any of its platforms raised an eyebrow at having a rainbow-coloured pentagram for a logo, until the first Twitter exodus when some newcomer primed for spotting the mildest of outrage-by-proxy gasped, “Have you seen this? Somebody might get upset!”
Meanwhile, the pentagram has been warding off hyperbolic fundamentalists since 2018. The fediverse is much chiller without them. 🤘

<Notices the word “reborn” in the project name>
Give it three days, it’ll rise again.
…and this latest proposal certainly isn’t either of those things.
This logo is really unpopular
Source? I’ve only ever seen a handful of strawman arguments that “I’m not offended by the vague resemblance to a pentagram/use of rainbow colours implying LGBTQ+ support, but somebody might be”, but its fairly wide adoption suggests that most people — myself included — actually like it.
Exactly. A logo isn’t meant to work at 11 point size in the middle of inline text. The typographical argument is nonsense, and I think this proposal is really a reaction to the idiotic “Satanic panic” over the rainbow pentacle.
What else!? 🏅
Yes, but most of all it’s
There already is a symbol for the fediverse:
This has existed for years already, is used widely, and IMHO looks way better than this dull attempt. I see no good argument in the campaign website for using this new one instead.
I saw, good on them! Until then, what is it…?
Fedi client
(Only connects to Lemmy)
Say it with me, “I’ve made a Lemmy client”.
Sounds pretty cool! Obviously, as a Linux user I’m not satisfied until I figure out how to make my own with Rofi, but kudos for the idea!
…yes? Anything worth my time there? Highlights?
That was answered elsewhere in the comments
Tell me you haven’t watched Pulp fiction without telling me you haven’t watched Pulp fiction 😁
TBF, “gimp” has many negative connotations, including as an ableist slur against the physically impaired.
That’s the one! Didn’t bother finding the source myself, thanks for going the extra bit kind stranger!
Looking forward to eventually burying the old “sticking with Adobe because GIMP doesn’t support CMYK” argument.
Isn’t this the version where they pinky promised there will be CMYK support?
<ducks, runs>
I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but the key points (customizable, no bloat, good wiki) all scream Arch, as you predicted 🙂
