A symbol for the fediverse ⁂ (symbol.fediverse.info)

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.

What I'm hearing here is

Proposal to add current Fediverse symbol to Unicode

[-] drspod@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

closest current one I can find is

⛥

or

⬠

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.

Which would hopefully give something like this

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 2 years ago

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

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago

Just can't get away from that Yahwist propaganda.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] halm@leminal.space 6 points 2 years ago

...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 0 points 2 years ago

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

[-] halm@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago

"🤣"

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Most compelling argument for atheism

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

Hate speech. Reported. Not cool.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago

Touch grass.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
