You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.

Loving the slogan!

I don't really wear shirts like that; but if you ever bring out stickers I'd love to get some!

@Gargron why does Mastodon support the French navy

@ErikUden @Gargron

Because the German navy has "Wäsche achtern", 'laundry aft'!

@Gargron @dopatwo Really like the slogan! Don't know what the other options were but i feel like you all have voted correctly. Straight to the point of what the fediverse is all about. Already have clothes, but I am very much inclined to get one for myself.

@Gargron There is another design coming, so if you want to save on shipping, it might be worth waiting a bit.

Something tells me this would look just as good in a purple sofa.

@Gargron No 3XL for tall people?
Show threadEugen RochkoFeb 19
@madalex How tall? I’m 185cm and L fits nicely. There’s a size chart on the page with all the measurements.
Show threadJuho MäntysaloFeb 20

@Gargron @madalex

Sorry that I have to ask, but where's the chart?

The short version of the problem is that we're not all built the same. Eg. it's not how tall you are, it's length of your spine.

For example, when I was thinner and used M-shirts (and lower waist was in fashion for jeans), my belly button used to come out if the shirt was less than around 80 cm tall. It's even worse now, as people are less keen seeing my belly, and sizes bigger than M are for those thicker, but not taller.

Show threadMad AlexFeb 20

@iju

On the webpage beneath the different buttons for the sizes is a link SIZE GUIDE.

Thank-you. Apparently adblocker removed that link from me, so it wasn't just my blindness being a problem.

Show threadPhil HaighFeb 19
@Gargron that is a GOOD slogan. However I have no intention of paying £12 for shipping. That’s outrageous and inexcusable.
Show threadPhil HaighFeb 19
@Gargron what you need to do is to licence the design to somebody like Teespring who print locally and therefore can offer low shipping fees. You’ll make more sales that way. Personally I’m not paying 40% extra for shipping, it’s ridiculous.
Show threadEugen RochkoFeb 19
@gulfie If you don’t want to pay for shipping, fair. But places like Teespring do not screen print, and don’t offer such control over the fabric (they usually have their own supplier that you don’t get to choose). So no thanks. I’ll keep it bespoke as long as I can.
Show threadPhil HaighFeb 19
@Gargron that’s fine but you need to find a way to bring your shipping charges down
Show threadEugen RochkoFeb 19
@gulfie I can’t magic Brexit away. This is how much DHL charges to send a tracked package from Germany to the UK. It probably doesn’t make sense for a single t-shirt, but if you’re buying more stuff that cost stays flat.
Show threadPhil HaighFeb 19
@Gargron I get that and we deserve all we get for the stupidity which is Brexit. I’ll see if I can get a bigger order together with friends because the shirt is just ~~so cool~~ possibly the best merch you’ve ever made.

Even in Europe, meanwhile, there is a demand for sizes beyond 3XL!
Lots of people in Europe wear size Obelix, AKA 5XL / 6XL.
