Howdy folks!

I have been busily cloning communities from instances that maybe aren't my favorite, but which often have posts that I think I'd like to participate in a discussion, if it weren't on those instances.

This has rubbed the admins a little wrong: they expressed a concern about deceiving people about which instance/community people are actually posting and commenting to. They asked me to change the branding.

To that end i've been trying to workshop a consistent theme i'd apply to all the cloned communities. Initially, I tried just stamping the disroot "D" logo onto the assets, but that didn't get great feedback on xmpp. I'm now considering a theme comparable to the themes used by db0 and beehaw, but using disroot coloring and maybe they graffiti font for the banner.

As the creative process has been mostly progressing between two people (me and muppeth), muppeth suggested I bring this proposal to the community, and that's just what this post is.

I'd love to get feedback on whether this is something you all think is worthwhile, and if so, I'd be happy to share whatever assets i create for templating etc. If you think there is another direction i should go, I'd love to hear that, and of course, if you think the whole venture is superfluous, I can continue my one-man show.
