       @pixelfed Have I understood correctly that they don't want you to use filters called "meta"? What about all the people using "meta" in CW? According to the online version of Merriam Webster the word has been in use since 1988 - have they actually copyrighted it (and if so, what idiot said yes to that)? I'm still on insta but as soon as I have a bit of time to figure out pixelfed, I'll be swapping. This is encouraging me to find the time sooner rather than later.

       @siobhansarelle @pixelfed Ah, thanks for the correction. It does indeed show up on their list of trademarks https://about.meta.com/en/brand/resources/meta/our-trademarksBut surely that doesn't mean they can stop anyone else from using that word? I mean, as long as no-one tries to sell something under the name, you can still use it, I thought.

       @Sandra @pixelfed @veroandi Thanks for that additional information. I was thinking filters in the sense of filtering content rather than the sense of adding a filter to a photo, which was probably confusing me even more. I did click through to the github link and try to understand it but that kind of thing is mostly gobbledegook to me.
