From jens at finkhaeuser.de Sun Mar 29 14:59:26 2026 From: jens at finkhaeuser.de (Jens Finkhaeuser) Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 16:59:26 +0200 Subject: Branding? Message-ID: <20260329145926.GL8933@finkhaeuser.de> Hey, after a few recent posts about #GiveUpGitHub on fedi, I finally ditched that mostly unused account. And the next day, seeing the ghost icon that replaced my avatar, my brain produced the #GhostGitHub hashtag. https://social.finkhaeuser.de/@jens/116312843008606123 I can't tell if this is an original thought or not, but I do not recall seeing it before. That's probably none too important. The point is, if I phrase something as "giving up", I evoke a sense of loss. "Ghosting", whether one thinks the practice is good or not, is what one does with people with whom the relationship is damaged enough that communication on ending it isn't even in the cards any longer. Combined with the icon... well... At any rate, if folk here like it *and* there is any question about "ownership", I just want to make clear that I do not feel ownership over it. Feel free to use it! (Again, I can't even be sure if it's my permission to give...) Man, GH really needs to become the new SF...
