We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.
It looks like a bunch of snowflakes or a trip of buttholes.
No thanks.
I quite like how *some* of the arms of the stars touch but not all. The older pentagram gives the impression that everything can connect to everything which has been hard to live up to.
But the ship has sailed and the pentagram has become well established.
3 cat buttholes. I love it.
There is a hidden 4th.
Looks like 5 to me
You had to say it.
It’s buttholes all the way down
Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.
Behold, the Trihole
You have rare condition of asterism. You need to check your dinkus.
An asterism! Very cool and Unicode standard! I’m on board.
I appreciate the dunk on Threads, I wasn’t aware of that icon. How audacious.
I appreciate the argument, but I feel like there’s too much of a chance that we can do better with something in unicode. Or, that this isn’t really good enough. Three asterisks is just too meh, IMO, to catch on.
⁂ … to me right now just looks like a splodge on the screen.
Somewhat unfortunately, the pentagram in the older icon probably can’t really be used without some cartoon-ification, because reasons.
we can do better with something in unicode.
Uh… It is Unicode.
U+2042 ⁂ ASTERISM
I know, but Unicode is big. I’m saying that there may very well be something better.
This is in unicode though? U+2042
I like it! Distinct but still simple enough that it could be easily stylized. The constellation symbolism works for me.
Ideally if it were used as an icon it would be slightly larger than the default text on a given page, though I’m not sure how well it fares on those cheap low-res laptops
It looks like the state farm logo to me in small text.
Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.
I’m sold. Let’s do it.
Three disconnected centralized serevrs? Ok.
They have several lines coming out. Those could be connections
Connections to users?
To other servers
So 3 disconnected clusters of servers
The lines in the image are connected, but this is also the dumbest internet argument I’ve had this month, so goodbye.
Wow. Hilarious.
Asterisks aren’t conmected.
So 3 footnotes? A bunch of snowflakes (which we are not)? Just, NO! Find something unique and original, that’s how branding works.
