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.

the fediverse is pretty gay though

I wouldn't want it any other way.

The way America's going, all of its queer folks will need the safe space

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

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 61 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's kind of like email...

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

[–] dumbass@quokk.au 11 points 1 week ago

That's how I'm gonna be explaining it to people from now on!

I like where this is going

The obscure club with 12.4m followers!

Vegans 🌱 are easier to find than fedizens🐘

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

It's odd to think about because 12.4 million is still a lot.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about vegan fedizens? 😱

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I can only count the regulars on one hand.

It is pretty gay here, NGL. But then, that's probably because I'm here and I'm Georg Gay.

Nerd Pride?
