A symbol for the fediverse ⁂

We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

⁂ fediverse symbol

@FediverseSymbol Nice symbol. Do you also have a proposal to replace the term Fediverse? I know many people, me included, who don't want to or cannot use it as a term in political debates, myself included.

Social Web was once one proposal, Open Socials is another. Maybe you've heard of other alternative naming that is more accessible in its name does not put the effort into a niche?

@yala So we're supposed to rename something that already has a name because of some unspecified objection?

@tomw I don't feel a generic rejection needs any justification. As a first, I just don't like the term.

My reasons for that can be debatable, but not the sentiment.

@yala I don't like the name "pineapple", shall we rename those too?
@tomw @yala It’s been named different by lots of people across the world depending on how they felt about it. You can absolutely rename it again, though Ananas comosus is just fine by me.
@owlchemist
I really like the Ananas suggestion. This is how we call it in my native language.
