Memes about the Fediverse

founded 1 month ago
MODERATORS
 

Now Fediverse Memes is the top community on feddit.uk (it only took three weeks from its creation) it needs a bit of fancying up, so we are looking for suggestions for a banner and icon. Post your ideas below, upvote what you like and we'll use the best ones.

And this won't be set in stone, we can revisit it later on.

edit: added a few to "prime the pump" now have at it!

Already did it here for a logo. It's Meta's logo of the Fediverse... erm, well, almost.

Good stuff - I may be missing the context, what is Meta's Fediverse logo?

Ahhh cool. I like it. We can probably give it a tweak (perhaps add the Fediverse rainbow of colours, or just say, red, blue, green, purple to the four elements. Maybe, as it's essentially now a smiley, we could change one "eye" to a dash so it is giving a cheeky wink?) but yes, we can definitely work with that and I love the idea of subverting a corporate logo.

Why would you want to legitimize Meta's attempt at appropriating the Fediverse by paying homage to their logo?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see it more as subverting a corporate logo. Not suitable for more serious discussion but for a meme community...

IMHO it risks making (new) people think that it's the official logo that you've parodied and creating that association in their mind.

Indeed, the logo of a meme community is the best source of an official logo. :)
