Description

> please can we remove the [matrix.org](http://matrix.org/) logo as the default social image on the new blog?
> i think it causes fatigue and makes the links look samey, even when they're different
> for many years we used to do custom ones for every important blog post, which made them stand out much much more

> the [matrix.org](http://matrix.org/) logo was only ever meant to be used as a social image for big flagday things like end-of-year blogposts or funding announcements

Research direction

Start by locating the blog's default Open Graph image configuration or template and inspect how social metadata is generated. Done means the matrix.org logo is no longer used as the default image, while explicitly chosen images for important posts continue to work.
