As a metalhead, the idea that every post has a little Satanism appeals to me greatly.

You've memed me with me own meme!
I knew you would recognize it! (I used the exact identical URL to make certain:-)
I must admit, I didn't check that - nice touch!
This would have more weight if the devs weren't Godless Commies.
Although...
I didn't notice it was a pentagram. Just thought it was a cute pentagon with each node connected to each other
All the better if they stay away honestly
Can we have t-shirt and mugs please?
There will be satanic Lemmy merch coming to stores near you this Summer.
Not sure how many other line designs there would be left.
A triangle doesn't have any neat interconnects.
A square is just square.
5 sides upsets some Christians.
6 sides could have some upset Rabbis.
7 would get us sued by George R.R. Martin.
Donne moi une minute que je ressors la machine ร rosace !
8 would have the UFC on your case.
What is this, book club?
My fault. I should have added: "TW: two longish paragraphs, might take a minute to read."
I'm pretty sure the lemming head is slightly off center in the pentagram and it's kinda weirding me out, lol.
Yeah, I noticed that yesterday but was rushing out. I'll have to fix it as it is making my brain itch.
Fun fact: Lemmy Kilmister, for whom these Fediverse iterations are named after owned the largest personal collection of Nazi memorabilia in the world for years leading up until his death. And just like every other person you've ever heard of who made Nazi iconography the centerpiece of their obsession, Lemmy was an entire piece of shit human being. Now you know. Fuck Lemmy.
Even though your comment is off topic, I will not let it go unchallenged. A lot of people who actually knew him would disagree with your statement. He did collect nazi memorabilia, but he was no nazi sympathiser.
Lemmy Kilmister, for whom these Fediverse iterations are named
Kind of a massive stretch:
"It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that."
Him dying recently to the naming is an incidental reasoning, not the main reason at all
Thanks for the info
I'm not sure of the relevance to a post about the Lemmy (social network) logo being a pentagram.
TIL. Sad to hear.
From Wikipedia:
Lemmy collected German military regalia; he had an Iron Cross emblazoned on his bass, which led to accusations of Nazi sympathies. He stated that he collected Nazi memorabilia because he liked the way it looked, and he considered himself an anarchist. He spoke against racism many times. Lemmy said he was against religion, government, and established authority. Lemmy defended his collection by saying that if his then-girlfriend (who was black) had no problem with it, nobody else should.
So not completely black-and-white
