Admittedly, I’m not much of a graphics dude, but I think this is pretty charming :3
Here, have one without the background gradient:
so cute 💜 I like no. 1
great icon 🫶
THIS IS SO CUTE
Looks really cool! 🩷🤍🩵
Coming in from all, I love it, blahaj looks amazing
I dig it.
Goes hard af
Rad. Both are 💯
I absolutely love it! Personally prefer the one with the background gradient.
Late 90s vibes
Thank you! ^^
oooo that looks so coollll! :O I think @SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone (offline atm) is the only one that can change the icon
I also love it! In the spirit of not being the other 196, maybe we should get a few options and put it to a community vote?
yeh absolutely! :3 I guess we should make a pinned post telling people we’re looking for a new icon and that this is one of the options and ask if anyone has any other suggestions
o and also a banner! :3
It’s funny because I started this thinking I’d stick a pin in this in case 196 doesn’t self correct. I was like 98% sure that was going to happen and we’d end up with two or three lost people leaving confused posts here. Then a bunch of people gave old 196 the middle finger. Now less than 24 hours later, we’re doing the internet equivalent of picking out furniture and drapes for the new home.
It has been wild.
It has been wild.
well tbf its not over yet, idk y the old 196 mod team just reopened 196 and went silent like nothing’s happening X3 but welp I guess until and if they speak again this is the new home of 196 :P
I’m happy to peacefully coexist, I don’t want to start any silly crusades. I’d imagine we’ll just end up splitting participation some. We can remain as a safe and sane “letter 196” backup for “number 196”.
yeh same :3
I hope they see this and consider it or perhaps somebody can make a more refined version of my idea :P
Do we want refined? The best memes are always terrible visual quality. I think a graphic that someone just kind of slapped together is perfect.
I’m afraid it doesn’t scale that good. If small you can’t recognize it anymore but that’s true so many icons so I don’t really care that much
blahaj :D
I’ve seen 196 pop up a lot but i’m not in the loop, whats the community about?
It’s a shitposting community where you have to post when you leave.
Nice I love a good shitpost
We all eat a lot of post fiber, so watch where you step - shitposts are everwhere.
Originally from Reddit as r/196, 196 is a community where the “rule” is to post something before you leave.
Here on Lemmy, it’s mostly become a place to share memes, and because this is on the instance lemmy.blahaj.zone, it’s cultivated a largely LGBT-positive identity with a focus on the trans community.
You’ll find that most posts are titled with “rule” in the name. It’s not really necessary, but it’s become a staple of what makes a 196 post a 196 post.
it was very lgbt friendly even before lemmy
Shork 💜
It’s. Perfect.
