Hey, anyone running a WordPress site interested in helping me test a fediverse sharing button plugin before I submit it for review?

(EDIT: You can use the "Code" -> "Download ZIP" button.)

@stefan wow good timing, i did a search the other day and you came up as someone who might be worth talking to about the 
fediverse emoji....is there a way to contribute without being on msgithub? i disvovered this 
fediverse emoji and i think it might be good to add
the svg is here https://bloat.wizard.casa/thread/019008d6-621d-9d4e-8fc6-9e49e56d91f7
i adapted it from the dark web the license is AGPLV3 foss but seems to exclude non-agplv3 servers like threads. so i dont think threads folk can use it, at least according to the lcense i read, i think thats a feature tbh
i animated it 
but you prolly dont need to see them flutter for what ur doing. :)
bye 4 now
@frogzone Hi, thank you for reaching out!
Really like the logo, a lot more approachable than the one that's commonly used!
As much as I prefer this one, I'm not sure how I feel about trying to replace it. Perhaps this could be a setting in the plugin, so people can choose?
There's a few more proposals in this thread https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fediverse-logo-or-icon-proposal/1057/30
It would be very helpful to know who the author is though, for proper attribution, if you're able to share that information.
@stefan
>I'm not sure how I feel about trying to replace it
i would just do it.... noone will complain.... very very few people use the old version on anything fediverse.party dont.... fediverse.info dont. the de facto icon is masto which is misleading andi would argue hurts fedi. even fedi tips doesn't use it, they cover it up so you can only see the nodes around the adge
>a setting in the plugin
yes maybe witch symbol in settings
>few more proposals in this thread
oh neat, that one that you linked to must be the version that DSFGS made before their last version. see in the repo (onion) how it has the peertube emoji, but without the actual peertube design inside!
this is dsfgs' latest wrt the peertube
i had no idea that dsfgs had been working on an emoji for so long!! there is a post in that thread you linked to on January 6, 2021 that attributes dsfgs! their design has come a LOOONG way since then. @smallcircles is that you who started the thread, nice job. even from jan '21 dfsgs was saying that the icon was only for foss implementations of activity pub, its as if they could see a future in which the crporates (threads) would need to be rejected.

attached is a jpg from the torrent they put up. to caption it its just a bunch of variations of the emoji and the heading "Fediverse (to the power of) FOSS" and clause below stating "Fediverse abstract butterfly icon (c) Copyright 2024 Dick Smith Fair Go Supporters (DSFGS), licensed AGPLv3 for AGPLv3 (free-licence, open source softwares) only! It CANNOT be used to link to non-AGPLv3, non-freedom-respecting network services. PeerTube logo adapted by DSFGS, original by Framasoft CC-BY-SA 4.0"
@frogzone @smallcircles Thank you so much, this is all very helpful!
And sorry, I forgot to mention, the bloat.wizard.casa doesn't seem to be working for me, I just get an "invalid session" error.
Not sure if there's anything you can do to fix that, happy to share my email if you want to send it over. (Or just DM me.)
@smallcircles hi @nestort almost forgot to tag u :) i dont kno if you remember the entity called DSFGS but they did an emoji for fediverse earlier this year and quickly disappeared from the masto instance they were on. i found the torrent on i2p. did minor touchups and publihed. see emojis above, includes peertube also.
@stefan feel free to update me on how things go, will be good to see how things go.
@smallcircles @stefan @nestort it may prove helpful if forward thinking instances adopt the 
emoji either as :fedi, :fediverse or :fediverseemoji , the first name in that series that doesnt already have an emoji assigned to it?
....then theres optional animated ones, they could be <name>1: <name>2: <name>3:
....and optional flat ones <name>A: (for Aqua) <name>P: (for Pink)??
thoughts welcome as would be good to standardize the adoption for consistent usage across instances.
@frogzone @smallcircles @nestort Still thinking about it!
The "current logo" is already pretty recognizable https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/112877928952629197.
But I am considering it as an option, I just had to focus on some other higher priority stuff.
Will keep you posted!
Well? [ ] Yes! [ ] Looks familiar [ ] Not sure [ ] Not really
@smallcircles @sun @stefan @silverpill @tadano @gabriel @realcaseyrollins @nestort good to see some grassroots interest in the publishing of the emoji torrent yesterday
any objections to the above method of adding the fediverse emoji? if not, the next step tomorrow will be to include our admins so they can move forward with it 
@silverpill @realcaseyrollins @gabriel @smallcircles @stefan @sun @tadano @nestort no objections.... so maybe everyone is ok with the proposal.
feel free to include your admins now
Stefan Bohacek
find you on
