@SocksPls Weird, I have the exact same config and I see it like this. Will investigate, thanks! @FediverseSymbol display dpi issue, I'd guess? are you on any high-dpi settings Kate (i ❤ blahaj) :unverified:, looks marginally better for me. I'm using macOS and the font is 11px Tahoma what do you think of the initiative @grishka? Would you agree that the pentagram symbol doesnt work at such small sizes with type? @grishka @FediverseSymbol I don't particularly hate the Meta symbol other then it feels pretty uncomfortable for them to come in and make up a new symbol with absolutely no conversation with "the community" and then other platforms like Flipboard start using it and it ends up feeling like encroachment. But I can also see how that can just come across as paranoia to some people. The ⁂ symbol does have the cool advantage that the :corporate_fediverse: symbol doesn't have which is Unicode Fediverse Symbol ⁂, ok so I've redrawn all three icons at 16x16, mostly quantized to the pixel grid. The top center asterisk is annoying because it has to be offset by half-pixel horizontally for the icon to be centered in its frame. The pentagram is somewhat more readable like this, but still something of a colorful pixel jumble. And to no one's surprise, the Meta's icon wins because it's so simple geometrically. |
@SocksPls Oops interesting, which OS are you using?
