Pride Flag (discuss.tchncs.de)

Alttext:

Meme image using a meme format called "What Pride Flag Is That?" or "So Are You Like Gay Or Something?", using a webcomic made by sarahmhops. It depicts 2 girls in a shared room, presumably at college / university. The girl on the left is hanging a flag on her wall.

Roommate: "So, are you like, gay or something?

Girl: "What?"

Roommate: "What Pride flag is that?"

Girl: "..." (expressionless shock)

In the original, the flag being hung is the Italian flag. In this edit, it's the fediverse symbol on a white background. The fediverse symbol shown is a proposed design from 2018 called the fedigram. It is a rainbow-coloured pentagon shape, with all diagonals connected and circles at the points, like nodes. The design reflects the interconnected nature of the fediverse, with multiple different software platforms all connected to each other.

I'm just going to come out as gay because it's easier to explain

Honestly, this may be my favourite explanation of the fediverse yet.
