Okay but why are we doing that stupid watermark shit
I'm personally torn on it, because I want people to find the fediverse, but I also hate intrusive watermarks, so I landed on the middle ground of making it transparent and subtle.
I might just drop it altogether if it bothers people that much.
Watermark does a lot for spreading websites. iFunny and 9Gag should not have had the staying power they had in the ages they did, they were pretty much entirely propped up by their watermarks. Unintrusive stuff like transparent logos with a link are cool. As long as the purpose of the watermark is for the image to actually be shared rather than lock it into the site, it's effective.
Yep, definitely done with the purpose of people finding Lemmy and getting off of corporate social media. I wouldn't do it for any site that's just running a business, but for the fediverse it feels different.
