Replaces the River tagline "Group chat without the company in the middle" with "Group chat nobody owns".

The old line reads two ways: "company" can mean companionship, so it briefly sounds like chat with nobody in it, and "in the middle" leaves the reader to work out who sits there. The new line is concrete and matches the page's existing "Chat that no one owns" section.

Changed:

  • content/river/_index.md title (feeds <title> and og:title, which X shows under the card)
  • hero H1 in layouts/river/list.html
  • the tagline baked into the link-preview card. It was re-rendered at the same 1200x630 layout with the site's Outfit / Source Sans 3 fonts, with the tagline now on one line and the block re-centred. The image is renamed to og-river-v2.png so crawlers that cache images by URL pick up the new one.

Verified with a local hugo build: og:title, og:image, <title> and the H1 all carry the new text.

Not changed: the homepage's "decentralized group chat with no company in the middle" line and a FUTO slide. Neither is the River tagline.

"Group chat without the company in the middle" reads two ways: "company"
can mean companionship, so the line briefly sounds like chat with nobody
in it, and "in the middle" leaves the reader to work out who sits there.

Change the page title (which feeds og:title on X and elsewhere), the hero
H1, and the tagline baked into the link-preview card. The card is
re-rendered at the same layout and fonts with the tagline on one line, and
renamed to og-river-v2.png so crawlers that cache images by URL fetch the
new one.
