I have spent the last two days working on making good quality SVG versions of the logo/symbols for #fediverse projects and I feel like it was worth it. I think the hard/less fun part of this project is getting them out there for all to use. I am pretty unfamiliar with submitting to Wikimedia Commons that is probably the best place for them to all live

Evan Prodromou reshared this.

@evan Do you have an opinion on Friendica? Trying to understand why it gets so few mentions in many platform discussions. It seems to be a relatively feature-rich solution, if a bit dated in look and feel (a fixable problem).
@shoq it's great. Definitely an interesting part of the landscape. I like how aggressively it supports alllll the protocols.
@Shoq
@evan We were impressed by that too. Does it being written in old-school PHP pose any issues for you (beyond the smirks and snarks of the code-snobs?)
@shoq PHP is the people's programming language. Language snobs can go scratch.
@Shoq
@shoq actually, now that I say this, I realise it's no longer true. JS is the people's programming language now.
@Shoq
@evan I agree, although now I'm told vue.js and typescript are au currant. But I assume you're including them under the JS umbrella?
@evan Given that most value-added can and should come from 3rd party add-ons empowered by fairly generic API endpoints, I can't see why the host's software matters all that much anymore, except to fork developers. But I'm not much of a programmer. Am I missing something?
@evan@shoq I'm old school PHP but programmer-son swears by Go with Vue or React front end - more elegant & faster w/ less server load & cheaper server specs.
