We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

Let our motto be:
Anus together strong.
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.
Is it like that because we’re a bunch of snowflakes?
My first thought.
Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.
You have rare condition of asterism. You need to check your dinkus.
Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.
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
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.
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 appreciate the dunk on Threads, I wasn’t aware of that icon. How audacious.
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
It looks like the state farm logo to me in small text.
Behold, the Trihole
So 3 footnotes? A bunch of snowflakes (which we are not)? Just, NO! Find something unique and original, that’s how branding works.
