    QR code was a mistake and does not suite that use case. Changing a few spots would have corrupted the URL whereas a “Lemmy” sign would’ve been much better. Even with corrupted pixels, it would still be distinctly recognizable.

      This is not true: QR codes have built in error correction, they are designed specifically for the purpose of working when many pixels are distorted

      QR codes have error corrections up to about ~30% error tolerance when using the highest error correction level

      It’s worth noting the QR code from earlier went to this site and was not lemmy related

        Ah, my mistake! I misunderstood when the post said “this site” I took it to mean “this site we are on” and I never bothered to check it.

        I’ll edit my comment

          Ah I can see that. I just wrote “this site” to keep the mystery of what the QR codes to a little alive like how it’s be if you scanned it
