From what I can see a wordpress plugin uses an icon you disagree with. You’d rather they use something else. Rather than approach them constructively you post your emotional response as an issue on their repo? What response are you expecting from the maintainers?

frontline is shifting

Why all the militaristic language?

If you want to be taken seriously you should re-word your issue and the title.

Be explicit about:

• what icon you prefer,
• include a graphical example
• include examples where it’s used to back up your claim that it’s the "actual fediverse symbol "
• highlight the issues with the current icon,
• include an example of the icon you disagree with.

The issue you’ve linked is literally just a complaint with zero context.

This is a rather sensationalist headline.

Every so often software developers need to eat food and live beneath shelter.

The developer of Boost @rmayayo@lemmy.world provides a free version that’s supported by ads, or you can purchase an ad free experience for a one time cost. That’s been a standard business since forever.

There isn’t any grand conspiracy here.
