@aral technically I think 8.0.x is considered a separate version track from 8.5.x. So 8.0.53 is the highest they can go without facing compatibility breaking changes. Nevertheless, that version is no longer supported (since 2018), so yeah, seeing it in the wild is bad.

@aral Emoji as logo, an awesome idea!

The choice of 💕 is also great. Fits well with the core ideals and kitten's existing aesthetic.

@aral I think this line of thinking is dangerous. It belittles pain points that less technical users currently experience with the fediverse.
This is why your work on small web is so important. Or onboarding to fedi, like the import feature recently added to pixelfed. Or why porting identities should be improved.
While work on these things is in progress, it's not done. For me personally fedi is good enough to replace big tech. For others it might not yet be. It's important to acknowledge that.
