    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?

    feud

    frontline is shifting

    Why all the militaristic language?

    If you want to be taken seriously you should re-word your issue and the title.

    Be explicit about:

    • what icon you prefer,
    • include a graphical example
    • include examples where it’s used to back up your claim that it’s the "actual fediverse symbol "
    • highlight the issues with the current icon,
    • include an example of the icon you disagree with.

    The issue you’ve linked is literally just a complaint with zero context.











  • I decided to not even bother with a significant number of mods because they just seemed mind numbingly confusing to set up.

    I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering if I’m missing some trick or something.

    I think you made the right choice here.

    There’s no quality control in modding communities so I’d say the effort the developer puts into the install instructions is going to be a reasonable indicator of the quality of the mod itself.


  • Ah, thanks for clarifying that. I definitely misinterpreted what you said.

    I’m not sure I’ve even read Proton’s latest reply in full.

    When I saw it on reddit I just got annoyed by all the boot licking comments saying variations of “thanks for being so transparent”.

    I’m unlikely to believe any post incident damage control from Proton. Their CEO caused irreparable damage to their reputation. The only resolution is to remove him from his post.

    I’m tired of seeing people claiming that alternatives are probably just as bad. That’s irrelevant. the alternatives haven’t betrayed the faith users place in them. and given the scale and nature of Proton as an organisation it’s entirely reasonable to expect a higher standard of them.

    You might not want to post apologia for a company defending a fascist party once, then doubling down, then trying to take it all back saying “it was a mistake to get political”

    At no point did I state “it was a mistake to get political” that is a narrative entirely from your own imagination.

    1. I made a sarcastic response to the opening comment. People didn’t notice the sarcasm. No worries my sense of humour isn’t overly obvious and I refuse to litter \s marks everywhere so I’m not too bothered if my comments are misinterpreted at times.

    2. the opening commenter responds sarcastically.

    3. I respond with another comment that’s absolutely dripping with sarcasm and even explicitly call out Proton’s bullshit. Somehow people still don’t note the sarcasm and yet they understood the firadin’s comment was sarcastic, odd but again I’m not too bothered.

    4. Somebody implies I haven’t understood a joke.

    5. I try to delicately suggest I’ve been misunderstood. Again, I’m not too bothered.

    6. Your response. Absolutely absurd.

    At no point did I even defend the Nazis, at no point did I say or imply what you’re quoting me as saying.

    The most ridiculous thing is you accuse me of “apologia” on the same day I repeatedly call out the inappropriateness of Proton’s stance because I got tired of reading so much “apologia”:

    The solace I do take from this is that at least people are aware of the insanity of the hill Proton have decided to die on.
