I find it extremely funny how you asked a question, received an answer of “no”, and then started arguing with everyone about how the answer is actually yes. The answer is no.
You cannot expect to be taken seriously when you’re arguing that a minimalist cross outline in red is the same as a black cross with a white outline, but it’s totally not the same as a red cross. And that black cross outlined in white is totally different to a grey cross outlined in white that uses the same name.
There was probably no discussion because only you saw the connection, and it’s a VERY tenuous connection at that.
You’re right. And I overestimated this Lemmy community for thinking it had more of a sense of humour.
Given the multiple coincidences of that specific symbol being used, I thought it was something funny. My apologies if it came out as not funny.
