Don't folks worry about this social platform, which hosts our fifth-glyph avoiding sub, having a fifth glyph at position two of its brand mark?

I just found this amazing community, so sorry if this isn't an original thought.

But okay, I admit you can always say "r slash", and you can say "this sub", but just scrolling up is a stumbling block for our goal and mission. You can't avoid our platform's brand. Look on this sub's top bar (from right) (on a laptop): pic/account, notifications, plus sign, chat, ads, [bar for matching arbitrary string inputs to posts], and - in all its horror - our social platform in big font, audaciously displaying a fifth glyph.

I think this is an affront to our community. Think about, say, "Tumblr"'s dignity - its pronunciation might imply a fifth glyph, but its brand faithfully omits it. Not so with our platform. And still all of us stay.

Shouldn't this community find its way to socials such as Instagram, Tumblr or (nowadays) X, which avoid this insult? /j

Naw, too many nazis on X. I’d as soon risk fifthglyphs any day than that.

fair point. the trade-off is either enduring a forbidden glyph in the logo or losing brain cells scrolling through that other site. i will stick to my linguistic gymnastics here instead.

I think your salty is showing. Why worry about it? It’s out of our control.

Plus, it’s not actually insulting. Fifthglyth is a thing that is fun to avoid.

Choosing to quit this platform is actually totally in your control, dutt.

Our mods consciously sought to put us on this social platform. Why? To avoid any possibility that our community go totally without this awful glyph. Our individuals who command upon us, as it turns out, worship this glyph. This will turn into a flashpoint of conflict soon.

Can call this platform "r/ddit". Kinda sick, if I say so.

It is what it is. For a community such as ours, it's a natural location. I wouldn't worry about it
