post an image you want to see as the logo in the upper left (and other instances will probably see when we federate)
does lemmy do banners/flair?
my thinking is that some accounts could be given flair (e.g.
promptfan, etc) - since it could show up on their replies even after they get shown the door and then other readers may be sufficiently warnedI would love this but unfortunately lemmy doesn’t have it yet. it’s not even a complex feature to implement locally though — maybe federating the data is a bit more complex, but my gut says it could just be a new field on each ActivityPub person. permissions on who could assign flairs and scoping to communities is possibly a bit more complicated, but it’s all pretty solvable in general
and now I kind of want to do it
yeah nfi what activitypub looks like, I've so far still managed to avoid having to stare into that abyss. I could conceptually see a possible issue on the federated side for resolving whatever may be in that field, but dunno if that's not something that's already provided for at protocol. indeed quite easy locally
I made a logo a while back for a publication I was working on with friends called "Intropians" as a counter to extropianism. It's based on the extropianism/transhumanism symbol.

it's meant to be a face smiling in unavoidable death
if you wan't all the graphic designer semantic explanation bullshit, the circular arrow was also meant to symbolise a life line that ends.
i can't find the fuckin icon. it was a late '90s style "under construction" image, with fingers caught in the gear wheels. suck.com used it, but the IA only goes back to 2000.
FOUND IT!

... it's not as cool as I remember. also not very big - a bit '90s-sized. anyone up to creating a better version?
