A symbol for the fediverse ⁂

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.

Three dots like this is also an ACAB symbol.

This looks like shit, is used for something else already, we already have an icon for the fediverse and this has 0 reason to exist

I like it because it reminds me of the Japanese kanji 森 Mori (Forest).

Which is in and of itself brilliant because it’s the kanji 木 Ki (Tree) repeated three times and bunched together.

Technically, the words are adopted from Chinese (in this case both Traditional and Simplified are the same and have not diverged yet); but same meaning and reasoning, just different pronunciation.

Thanks, I hate it.

I’m more partial to the pentagram/star ⛤🌟 shape of the current fediverse logo. It would be nice to have a monochrome and emoji form in unicode, just have the pentagram encased in a pentagon.

No this looks very primitive. It’s not the 1970s. Add a circle and some colors.

I wrote about this on my blog. I like the notion and points made here, but I also think we’re not helping by re-inventing things that already exist, so I’m torn on it. I have been happy with the existing one.

Interesting, I’m currently reading about Plurality (digital democracy), which decided to pick its own symbol (⿻) too.

I like it because we are all snowflakes together

Testing a little side by side comparison

And in white, for the dark mode folks:

But it's hardly a fair comparison, especially because it seems I cannot upload SVG files to Mbin. I also didn't make the lines thinner or any other adjustments that might be a good idea at this scale. Still, might be better than noting.

That’s just our mascot, the “Lemmdigo”.

Nah, I won’t happen because you can’t type it on a keyboard.
