A symbol for the Fediverse

This doesn't really scream 'Fediverse' for me. My first thought was some sort of rank, like in certain video games and military organisations (like how Mario Kart Wii uses it for 3 stars in Grand Prix mode).

The previous icon (the pentagram) was better because the things were actually connected. The new one has 3 disconnected stars.

I don’t hate it, but I also like the ActivityPub logo.<p>&gt; However, its design is a little too complex to be used at small sizes, as you would in text or in a button.<p>I somewhat disagree and would say this applies equally to the asterism logo.<p>&gt; It’s also only available in image form, not as a typographical character.<p>That’s typical for logos and usually indicates that they’re unique.

It is grounds for unification.<p>Listen to you discontents squabble. The stakeholders are happy to agreeably own your infrastructure.<p>⁂ looks like something that can propagate competitively in minds amid the established social norms.

Not sure why Fediverse needs a symbol but it looks great.

I don&#x27;t get the need for this.<p>What is the use for a &#x27;logo&#x27; that can be copy-pasted into text? If you write text you can just use the name - fediverse. Its like they get the worst of both worlds; a bad logo that is not even theirs but is an unicode character. And a shitty way of writing their name that makes it incomprehensible to outsiders.

Fediverse is essentially like the old Microsoft organization chart. So the symbol needs either guns or at least division lines.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bonkersworld.net&#x2F;organizational-charts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bonkersworld.net&#x2F;organizational-charts</a>

I like it. I hope we can soon use it on HN, too. ⁂<p>Edit: seems to work alread, nice

I&#x27;d use of of these dodecahedron projections to represent a network of equal nodes on the planetary sphere: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.fineartamerica.com&#x2F;images&#x2F;artworkimages&#x2F;mediumlarge&#x2F;1&#x2F;dodecahedron-and-icosahedron-projections-sacred-geometry-school.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.fineartamerica.com&#x2F;images&#x2F;artworkimages&#x2F;mediu...</a>

I hate to say this but it looks like a group of snowflakes.

Arguably @ is a Fedi symbol already. Adding the domain is generally all it takes.

Previously: the pentagram and a meta logo...<p>Really good choices guys. This is lame BTW. I feel this was kicked off by someone that made a bad arm tattoo choice and needs it to happen to justify it

The pentagram is fine enough to not be replaced by... this.

Reminds me of Splinter Cell. I do like it though.

Nah, that&#x27;s the sarcasterisk and should replace &#x2F;s in modern communication.

So is the proposal to write handles as username⁂hostname ? Or ⁂username⁂hostname ?

Nobody will ever use this unless it miraculously becomes a standard symbol on keyboards.

A symbol for Asana

How very web 1.9

Who is the &quot;we&quot; behind this fediverse.info? They seem to be missing a couple of server flavours in the post. I can&#x27;t tell if it&#x27;s serious or sarcasm.

Elon Musk: &quot;For maximum confusion, I&#x27;m renaming Twitter to X.&quot;<p>Fediverse: &quot;Hold my beer.&quot;<p>Every time I try to suggest someone use the Fediverse, I have to say about 2 sentences just to <i>name</i> the thing I&#x27;m talking about, which they&#x27;re more likely to know as &quot;Mastodon&quot;. I don&#x27;t see how pulling a &quot;the artist formerly known as Prince&quot; will help this branding problem, rather than hurt further.<p>Advocating this logo-in-text for branding is as confusing to me as the people who keep self-destructively saying &quot;free software&quot;, to mean a very important and huge distinction from what every reasonable person assumes that &quot;free software&quot; means.<p>It seems less like evangelism, and more like exclusionary -- a small in-group shibboleth, or secret handshake.
