We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

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.
So 3 footnotes? A bunch of snowflakes (which we are not)? Just, NO! Find something unique and original, that’s how branding works.
An asterism! Very cool and Unicode standard! I’m on board.
3 cat buttholes. I love it.
There is a hidden 4th.
You had to say it.
It’s buttholes all the way down
Looks like 5 to me
You have rare condition of asterism. You need to check your dinkus.
Is it like that because we’re a bunch of snowflakes?
My first thought.
I just think it’s neat
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.

No
I appreciate the dunk on Threads, I wasn’t aware of that icon. How audacious.
I’m sold. Let’s do it.
Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.
