We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

Behold, the Trihole
Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.
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.
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.
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 laptopswe 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.
You have rare condition of asterism. You need to check your dinkus.
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
An asterism! Very cool and Unicode standard! I’m on board.
I’m sold. Let’s do it.
So 3 footnotes? A bunch of snowflakes (which we are not)? Just, NO! Find something unique and original, that’s how branding works.
I appreciate the dunk on Threads, I wasn’t aware of that icon. How audacious.
The icon created by meta gives me shivers…
I know why you did it so fast and why you choose ⁂, it’s already present and works as expected and probably to overcome meta’s implication into the fediverse…
However, every symbol didn’t exist at first and became popular on it’s own because it defended something people found important and fought for (Like the peace symbol)!
Maybe create our own symbol and let it make enough noise so it becomes it’s own symbol?
Sorry if it isn’t clear what I mean by that :/
Wait…this symbol already existed? What was it used to represent?
It’s in Unicode, duh… Otherwise, you’d need an image to represent it.
I think many people share your sentiment and have argued the same point in other threads
It looks like the state farm logo to me in small text.
Note that if supported by the font you use, the three symbols will usually be drawn the same way as an asterisk (*) in that font. This means a lot of variation.

Several typefaces’ rendering of Unicode
U+2042 ASTERISM:
I think the diversity is alright! It’s like the Fediverse: instances follow a standard to work with each other but can be heavily customized without breaking integration.
One of them is not like the others.
What the fuck is Lust Text?
Send nudes

* *Hmm
New lems can’t asterim?
Wow. I had forgotten all about that! I wonder if I could still triforce…
Are you trying to do Triforce again?
Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.
