Fediverse Explorations | Fediverse Explorations

Studies, research papers, and informal polls that explore the fediverse.

Hey @stefan, maybe you would be interested in including @FediverseSymbol new initiative in @FediverseExplorations?

@liaizon @FediverseSymbol @FediverseExplorations Thank you for reaching out about this!

I'm not too sure if this would be a good fit, the focus of the site are studies and data-driven blog posts. Unless you mean to include the symbol itself on the site?

Either way, I did mention the initiative in my recent article, not sure if you saw that.

@stefan @FediverseSymbol @FediverseExplorations I meant the page https://symbol.fediverse.info but I see what you mean I somehow didn't realize the purpose of the explorations were that narrow. This initiative started as a study of issues that were arising from the use of  and how the image works in various contexts and what to do about it. It actually started as a poll.

(Maybe good to update your link in the bonus content section in that blog regardless now that it lives on a subdomain)

We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

⁂ fediverse symbol

@liaizon @FediverseSymbol Thank you, I update the link!

Was this study published anywhere online, ideally a blog or a dedicated website?

@stefan @FediverseSymbol here's the thread that originally lead to @raphael's suggestion of the asterism https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/108974105137722178

There have been a number of other places that this idea have been discussed but no not a formal study posted anywhere. Though that would be interesting
