We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.
…
⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.
…
@ is the symbol for e-mail. # is the symbol for hashtags. ☮ is the symbol for peace. ♻ is the symbol for recycling. ⁂ can be the symbol for the fediverse. ⁂ is standardised as Unicode U+2042, making it ready to copy and insert anywhere.

i like the gay satanism icon
What I’m hearing here is
Proposal to add current Fediverse symbol to Unicode
closest current one I can find is
⛥
or
⬠
Emojis used zero width joiner to combine multiple single code point emoji to a single combined emoji.
⛥+ZWJ+⬠could form the combined character, and be rendered as desired.pretty sure this guy is trying to trick someone else into summoning a demon. It’s like telling people to hit alt-f4 to chat.
I do hear noises in my head now.
Which would hopefully give something like this
I kind of like the idea of just using pentagram. ⛥
Close enough to the current logo in appearance, scales well, not used by other social media, satanic undertones.
I don’t think the satanic undertones are a good thing 🤣
Booo!!! Satan hater!! Hey everyone, this guy hates Satan!!!
Just can’t get away from that Yahwist propaganda.
Why wouldn’t I hate Satan? Man’s literally responsible for everything wrong with our society 🤣
Hate speech. Reported. Not cool.
Touch grass.
…you think Satan is a literal man and “responsible for everything wrong with our society”? 🤯 Allow me to ruin Santa Claus for you next.
I didn’t say he is literally a man 🤣 It’s an expression. He’s an archangel specifically.
Both one off from the superior hexagon. The bestagon.
I’d rather see the current
logo added to Unicode than reuse an existing symbol. It’s not impossible, considering that the Bitcoin symbol (₿) ended up making it.And an emoji for moths too
I think it’s too complex to be a Unicode character
Most Egyptian hieroglyphics are in unicode. However, there are many other reasons for it not to be included.
Looking at how current emojis tend to be hard to distinguish without increasing the font size (I see ~13 px on this page), I’d say the fediverse icon fits the criterion well enough.
Also,
I can see the icon in here well enough
but that’s a disgusting logo
First thought: e pluribus anus
A fellow greendale alum. Streets ahead!
a bunch of assholes conected to each other… sounds about right.
…and it’s ruined… Thanks internet
Not an asterism but an assterism (or arseterism).
Its use looks contrived to me on the linked GitHub page. The comparison with @ and # is flawed because those symbols are part of the resource name, whereas here the symbol is superfluous. It’s like adding a 🌐 in front of every web URL.
How about, the same idea, but you use railroad couplers instead of buttholes? Everybody is connected! Rather than being full of shit.
Isn’t there one already widely adopted? The rainbow mesh pentagon? Why rebranding?
However, its design is a little too complex to be used at small sizes, as you would in text or in a button.
I wonder what the criteria are. Because ⁂ just looks like three blurry dots to me. It’s not making things worse, but I wouldn’t say it’s making them much better either.
