@hj I really wanted to not have an outline this time. And yet, most people prefer it in the poll because what a surprise, emojis can be hard to see depending on the background color. I hate this.

@volpeon I'm seeing this in dark mode?

@volpeon … I can't tell, outline blends in the background

@volpeon @hj Maybe a non-black/white outline would be better? Like I've seen purple for outlines quite few times.

@lanodan @hj Any non-black outline is a distraction from the emoji content and makes it even harder to read. I tried.

@volpeon @lanodan you can have double outline

or have a subtle gradient/blurred line

@hj @volpeon And as Pleroma's logo does, slightly transparent outline so it doesn't clashes too much.

@lanodan @volpeon also you can have outline just not that thick, which is my complaint about volpeon's emoji. IMO thick outlines are also quite distracing.

@hj @lanodan In any case, I already have found a solution that doesn't involve adding an outline. ​​ icy.wyvern.rip/notes/ad14gldx0ezeq581
