Description
Hi Flare team! First of all, thank you for your amazing work.
In the recent brutal crackdown by motherf**king Felony Musk on modified clients (such as piko, BHTwitter, and NeoFreeBird), Flare has survived, likely thanks to its web-based implementation. It has become a rare safe haven for us.
I have a feature request (or perhaps a philosophical request):
Could you please consider changing all "X", "X.com", and "𝕏" elements within the app back to "Twitter", "Twitter.com", and the classic Blue Bird logo?
Why make this change?
The Symbol of Openness vs. Closed Ecosystem: Felony Musk's "Black X" has become a symbol of a closed ecosystem that is extremely hostile to third-party developers. Ironically, Twitter's original official iOS app was literally born from acquiring a third-party client called Tweetie. Now, the "X" regime is burning the bridge it walked on.
Alignment with Flare's Spirit: The classic Blue Bird represents the open, free, and developer-friendly era of the internet. Since Flare is a client that embraces open federated networks like Mastodon and Misskey, the spirit of the Blue Bird aligns much better with your app than the corporate "X".
Who knows, maybe Musk's iron fist will target web-wrapper clients soon. Until then, let's keep the true spirit of the Blue Bird alive in Flare.
Thank you for considering!
首先,非常感谢你们开发了 Flare!
在最近矮聋妈死客针对官改客户端(如 piko、BHTwitter、NeoFreeBird)的全面封杀中,Flare 凭借 Web 端的实现幸存了下来,成了为数不多可用的替代选项。
我有一个功能请求(或者说是一个关于社区理念的请求):
希望你们能考虑将应用内所有的“X”、“X.com”和“𝕏”元素,全部改回“Twitter”、“Twitter.com”以及经典的小蓝鸟 Logo。
为什么要这样做:
妈死客的黑色叉已经成为了一个极端敌视第三方开发者、代表封闭生态的象征。讽刺的是,Twitter 官方iOS客户端的前身正是收购来的第三方客户端(Tweetie),而现在的 X 却在过河拆桥。
经典的小蓝鸟代表了互联网那个开放和自由的时代。既然 Flare 支持 Mastodon 和 Misskey 这样拥抱开放联邦网络的平台,小蓝鸟的精神显然与这个客户端的初衷更契合。
谁知道哪一天妈死客的大手会不会也对准这里,但在此之前,希望小蓝鸟代表的真正开放和自由能在 Flare 中延续。
感谢你们的考虑!
