which circle a?
vs
please boost for maximum votes.
shoulda included early digital circle-a, ‘@‘
@avad i'm also realizing the emoji i used has the cross-bar of the A going right though, when the real dichotomy is the punk circle A vs just an A in a circle. but i think the spirit of these two styles is there, forgoing various minutae
@mart0 the sans serif circle A gives off "person in a business suit" vibes idk how else to describe it
@mart0 like it's Too clean, where did all the anger and distaste for the oppressive structures of our current society go? not into the logo that's for sure
@mart0 not that one but , cleaner-looking and maintains the link to the original one

@elilla yeah i actually thought this was the emoji i was using but now it's too late lol!
@mart0 On here the shortcode for this one is ”the_good_circle_a”
@mart0 K: I have a very soft spot for :anarchopunk:, but I typically find myself using :anarchy: more often than not.
@mart0 anarchopunk because it’s actually visible on dark theme
@mart0 anarchopunk for spraying and the regular circle-a with the regular A crossbar inside the circle and not outside the A for drawings/flags imo
@mart0 voted overdrawn purely as a self-description without imputing value judgment
the value judgments ignored in the decision:
- the red one is the one that works on both dark and light themes
- the overdrawn one is the one that's most easily recognized and thus most heavily assimilated
- in this current environment the geometric one may be easier to draw and require fewer bits to transmit over limited or improvised infrastructure, making it more punk than overdrawn
- what @rgegriff said
@VanisleJay @mart0 anarchitects
@mart0 What context? Because the punk anarchist symbol looks better, but has poor readability in emoji form.
@Vordus just in general. Not a poll on which emoji, but which geberal version of the circle A symbol.
@mart0 everyone wants anarchy but no one wants to organize
@mart0 i am in dark mode on my app and could not see the first option so, while i think i would have preferred it, i went with the visible
I must admit the results of this poll surprised me.
