Currently, we're running an experiment where we provide teams with 500 free PR analyses each month. Beyond that, we charge $16 per month for each seat.
It's important to note that our choice of the watermelon symbol was made two years ago, with no intention of causing discomfort or insensitivity to any situation. We apologize if it has inadvertently caused any unease.
Yes, of course I didn't mean to suggest that you chose a specific symbol to make a political statement or anything like that. My thinking was more that if you were to suffer negative implications as a result of that choice, that would be a rather unfortunate outcome for you and your project.
I think it's quite clear that you chose the watermelon long before the current events started unfolding.
to round out the story of the symbology, the other flags/placards being waved in that photo are "sabra" cactuses, prickly pears, available in green and red with a sweet fruit. "Sabra" is a common Israeli self-epithet, to mean something like "we are like sabras, prickly on the outside, sweet on the inside"; so those protesters are sending a "unity" sort of message by waving both.
I made my point in my comment, things are not just one meaning. Emojis do not just have one meaning. Words do not have one meaning (most of the time). Nobody would equate a watermelon for open source copilot for code analysis as being anti-Palestine or pro-Palestine or anti-Israel or pro-Israel. I don't understand why it was even brought up.
The first thought that came to mind for me was how in some Chinese internet culture, eating watermelon represents watching an event for entertainment without much investment even to the detriment of others. Apparently it’s being used for solidarity with Palestine though.
I'll also be available to answer any questions from the community and to receive your feedback.
