Can we use the actual fediverse symbol instead of that asterism?
issue raised on the wp_activitypub github:
What the title says.
Or just don’t drop symbols inline. That wishy-washy asterism BS is such a pearl clutching gentrification of the witchy, nonconformist roots of the fediverse.
Fuck yeah rainbow pentagrams 🤘
If you want to be taken seriously, or at least get a constructive reply — don’t open with “If you want to be taken seriously”. It reads really condescending, and I’m going to have to assume that’s your intention.
So here goes:
Assume that even if you don’t immediately understand the context, one probably exists outside your frame of reference. If the post catches your interest, look up that context. Otherwise, move along.
Don’t expect other users on a discussion board to take you to by the hand and explain the circumstances leading up to this point in history. If you do, please don’t act like you’re the keeper of the style guide (see preamble).
For full clarity, I did not post this for you as a bumper introduction to the backs and forths of the Fediverse symbol feuds, but to signal for those already in the know that the frontline is shifting.
TL;DR — this wasn’t for you, don’t demand that it be customised to your measures.
From what I can see a wordpress plugin uses an icon you disagree with. You’d rather they use something else. Rather than approach them constructively you post your emotional response as an issue on their repo? What response are you expecting from the maintainers?
Why all the militaristic language?
All of those two examples you cherrypicked?
