I have to say that although I'm enjoying so far, the moderator avatar of a man with a gun to his head and the Star Wars stormtrooper icon that's on nearly every page are making me reconsider spending my time here. What is the deal with those images?

@lynn_literary Wait, what? I haven't seen that anywhere. Where are you seeing those icons and avatars?

Deadsnoo,

Yeah, I see the profile image on the "owner" and "moderator" fields for magazines. The Imperial stormtrooper is at the bottom of the page, on mobile, with "Create your own instance".

I guess we can ask @ernest directly why these images are in use when they suggest... hostility. I'm sure this is an extremely busy time, though.

Deadsnoo,

@losttourist @ernest

this ain't even busy. i wish you luck in contacting him before the next two days. a smidge of advice: do not enter or use kbin for the next 4 days as the panicked masses flood in. see you after the wave clears!

So now that I can log in again, these images are bothering me enough that I'm adding my account to the deletion queue.

The meanings the images convey are especially hard to ignore after seeing the excuses for why kbin continues to federate with lemmy.ml.

I refuse to support fascism. That is the opposite of what I signed up to do.
