Mastodon is not going to allow colored badges anymore, but we are going to keep them in our instance. With this rate of deprecation, we can expect even more forks, but that's OK. Luckily, Mastodon is open source.

The weirdest thing is that they will probably keep the color setting in admin, even though it does nothing.

@radulfr Thanks for pointing that out, missed that. However, I'd much prefer the colors be set using the color picker - we have that in our fork. I can always style with [data-account-role-id="3"] too, with that change. But it doesn't really matter at this point.

@rolle "We don't need CSS designers anymore, ours are better. We also removed that feature, so it's working as intended." 🤦 😂
