Re: "Should Lagrange display a static emoji for Geminispace.org?"
@Morgan:
I like how it looks if you use that for the site icon, and it's mildly frustrating that others mostly won't see it like that.
The thing about Gemini is that clients have free reign on how content is presented (within the confines of the spec), so one should try to accept that it's futile to control and/or influence the visual appearance of one's capsule as seen by others.
I think it's great that everyone gets to choose these things privately for themselves. Tastes and preferences vary, after all.

@michaelnordmeyer
a certain color for their site to be applied by Lagrange
You can already switch color themes via Lagrange's site-specific settings, privately for yourself, of course. 🙂

Thanks @skyjake!
I totally agree with that point of view while finding it not particularly satisfying, mostly because it seems unlikely that people actually will pick and assign site icons. In Langrange for example I think they are very likely to stick with the pseudo-random default.
I don't really have a better suggestion.
I can imagine UI where you hover over the site icon and get choices: "randomize", "customize", "check for favicon.txt". But I don't think it would get much use, either.
I think what we have today works fine.

@skyjake I know. My point was a creator-chosen color which is shown to other users by default.
I get the client side styling argument but I also like having the favicon.txt. could have an option in the browsers to allow all or none for favicon.txt usage. question is, what's default.
Should Lagrange display a static emoji for Geminispace.org? — I know that this is a little unfair or even entitled, but life's not fair, so here it goes. 😉 Lagrange has some static emoji assigned to certain sites like `gemini.circumlunar.space`. As the BDFL of Lagrange and geminispace.org, @skyjake could add geminispace.org's emoji (🌒) to those few static icons.
