A manifesto for ⁂ as a symbol for the fediverse
https://symbol.fediverse.info/
@FediverseSymbol this is unconvincing:
"We also don’t believe that a large corporation that is joining in as late should be the one defining the iconography for the fediverse."
Who are *you*, though? If your argument is ad hominem, show your names and your bona fides. Why should anyone care what you believe?
And if you're proposing a symbol after Threads, isn't that even later?
@FediverseSymbol you also say this: "@ is the symbol for e-mail. # is the symbol for hashtags. is the symbol for peace.
is the symbol for recycling. ⁂ can be the symbol for the fediverse."
These are not the symbols you should compare to. The most recent symbol that makes sense to compare to is the AI twinkles .

The asterism seems really close to it.
@FediverseSymbol Nobody puts an @ on a web page to show what to click to send email. They put an envelope .
The other thing they do is put an email address, like "username@domain.example". People recognize that format as a way to reach someone by email.
