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.

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 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.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think the satanic undertones are a good thing 🤣

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Booo!!! Satan hater!! Hey everyone, this guy hates Satan!!!

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Just can't get away from that Yahwist propaganda.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why wouldn't I hate Satan? Man's literally responsible for everything wrong with our society 🤣

[–] halm@leminal.space 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

...you think Satan is a literal man and "responsible for everything wrong with our society"? 🤯 Allow me to ruin Santa Claus for you next.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say he is literally a man 🤣 It's an expression. He's an archangel specifically.

U+26E5 RIGHT-HANDED INTERLACED PENTAGRAM and U+2B20 WHITE PENTAGON, for those curious

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
