I didn’t notice it was a pentagram. Just thought it was a cute pentagon with each node connected to each other
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.
I’m not sure of the relevance to a post about the Lemmy (social network) logo being a pentagram.
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
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.
