Efi (nap pet) 🦊💤@FediverseSymbol but this already has a meaning??
@efi Yes, it is sometimes used to separate paragraphs! But symbols can have multiple meanings. For instance @, 🍑, ✕…
@FediverseSymbol im also annoyed at the uses of @ and $ lol
The OwlChemist@efi @FediverseSymbol butt not 🍑? I kinda like it too
Velocipede Rider@FediverseSymbol @efi As a logo for the fediverse it is stupid, given there is no interconnection. This feels like, "I looked through unicode and tried my best to find something I could try and shoehorn into place" Done so that we have a symbol that can be typed. Rather than give up on what we have or go for a cheap but crappy solution, it should be done the proper way. Build the use for a better logo and submit an emoji proposal.
The symbol does not work for this and the proposal feels lazy.
@FediverseSymbol @efi Yes I am aware of the fact that symbols can have multiple means and new meanings evolve over time.
'#' in front of a word was used as a hack on Twitter intitally to making searching more efficient and this evolved into a new meaning, such that this symbol is now often called a hashtag symbol itself.
That was organic and a byproduct of the goal. Yours is a concerted effort to just take over the meaning.

@ruari @FediverseSymbol @efi from a technical perspective it doesn't work for the idea of federation
yes, we all exist on different servers and those servers can be found by having knowledge of other servers, but once that connection is made, that link is direct and the intermediary servers do not matter.
I find the unofficial official fediverse logo shows this well, but the asterism is almost trying to say the fediverse is a bunch of star topology networks interconnected, which is not correct in my opinion
