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.

        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.

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

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

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

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