Why is the piefed.social icon LGTB themed? Can we change this? o.o

    Because I believe in options. You’re entitled to have it as much as I am not to have it and I personally think it doesn’t look good…

      Have queer-affirming imagery up indicates an openness to options. As someone pro-options, I’d expect you to understand that.

      believe in options

      Ah, the classic “I believe in options” line. So long as everyone else chooses the option I like. Got it

        Btw, the rainbow flag literally symbolizes options. Everything from red to violet is perfectly fine. And more, because it’s just a simplification. Everyone who really believes in options should fly it every now and then. 🏳️‍🌈

          If the symbol represents options, then the website contradicts the message by removing user choice. A symbol of options shouldn’t be forced, it should be optional.

            Idk man, it’s not your webserver. I suppose as a user you often just gotta live with the options provided to you. You’re provided with a place to talk and share your opinion here. And so is everyone, so you’ll have to find a way to cope with other people’s opinions.

            Edit: And I think especially with the opinion of your host because that trumps your opinion as a guest. Maybe you can have fun anyway, maybe you’re at the wrong party.

        I believe our definitions of options may be different, it means to me optional, you can toggle it on or off or choose whatever you may like.
