I've been compelled to make a full blown fediverse conversion mod for Stellaris, and I don't know what it is that's compelling me, but I will not stop until it is complete. I want as many instances represented as possible, @ me your ideas.
this will be the highest effort shitpost of my entire fediverse career
so far I've got
- a mastodon logo for .social
- 
- a snout (for snouts.online)
- the yiff.life hex
- the goat of hellsite.site
- the radtown 
- pawprint for whomst.dog
- selontheweb as representative symbol of godforsaken.website
- a mate gourd for myasstodon
- an efdn.club logo
I need more symbols! @ me a symbol if your instance isn't yet represented and I'll get it in there
emojis work well for this, so if your instance has an emoji you think represents it, do @ me it
note to self: change the language file such that the "Leave Federation" button says "Defederate" instead
can't really think of any traits for mastodon.socialites besides repugnant.
I take that back. I went for Fleeting, Nomadic, and Rapid Breeders
if I had a dataset of fursona names I could make a namelist
If I was REALLY talented, I could make Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit into respective endgame crisis
Reddit would be the scourge, for obvious reasons. and Twitter would be the robot uprising, because algorithm. Facebook or Google would be the interdimensional invasion.
it would be too easy to make a jamelist (jorts namelist)
it's been like 12 hours and I'm still going, but I need MORE. send me your emojis, send me your ideas and your huddled masses.
@starwall I'd be down to help idk how but hell yeah
@starwall is that a pic of goat
@starwall disappointed you made hellsite a human-like and not some fucking weird abomination like we consistently show ourselves to be
@CornishRepublicanArmy I've since changed it to the most goat like appearance, thought that was more fitting. The initial idea was for the empire to be a robot one, but I've since decided that I want bot and bot adjacent instances to fulfill that role
@starwall I don't have an image of it but
gorilla pellet
@tinytoydragon definitely gonna need an image
@starwall link ur mod when ur done, monarch
@ItsMorgan I absolutely will. hopefully I can arrange some sort of inaugural playtest of it with a bunch of fedifolk
@starwall i would absolutely love to do this. yes
@starwall @ItsMorgan yo, that's be cool as hell
@starwall @ItsMorgan
*clears throat* hi
@anarchiv @ItsMorgan speaking of... is there any emoji or anything that's representative of todon.nl?
@starwall well this is the logo 
but it's not much. I could go out on a limb and say the most commonly used emojo is 
perhaps lol
@ItsMorgan
@anarchiv @ItsMorgan hmm. I could add the trebuchet but we have 
too and I think maybe even .social does too? is todon themed at all or is it just kinda general use?
@anarchiv alternatively I could just see what my artistic talents can draw up as representative of you specifically, as I've done with godforsaken.website and sel and botsin.space with starwall-e. A stylized space station perhaps?
@CornishRepublicanArmy @anarchiv starwall-e is the leader of botsin.space and the botsin.space empire is going to be determined assimilators
@CornishRepublicanArmy @anarchiv I'm tempted to add custom animated portraits. If I want this mod to feel complete, I kind of have to don't I
@starwall hmmm that could be fun. but I'm not even a mod anymore, even when I am, arguably, one of the most popular people on Todon
@anarchiv I've been cooking something up, what do you think
@anarchiv sweet! we'll do this then
@starwall hell yeah. la instance, c'est moi
@starwall Todon is aimed at "progressives and leftists" @ItsMorgan
@starwall @anarchiv @ItsMorgan i mean, we have the 
, although I don't know how representative it is v:
@operand @starwall @ItsMorgan
OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THE KLOMP
@anarchiv @operand @ItsMorgan It'd be easy enough to add
@starwall @operand @ItsMorgan
yeah let's use it because it's *the* Todon emoji
@anarchiv @starwall @ItsMorgan honestly one of the first things I noticed about todon.nl after getting on it was the 
emoji
a little cheap because it's first alphabetically, but still, has a kinda todon.nl vibe I think
not at the forefront, though, just like, a burning police car somewhere in the distant background
@starwall for a sec there I thought this was some kind of custom OS GUI and I was like "oh shit that'd be kinda rad to use"
@Nine I would totally love a stellaris-mastodon theme
@a_breakin_glass what exactly am I looking at?
@starwall that's perfect :D
@starwall shadow council, i love it
@starwall fucking shadow council
it is slowly dawning on me that this mod will take weeks of work. maybe even months. However, I have the rest of quarantine to go, this is my job now.
