It seems like a perfect time to (re)introduce ⁂ as a symbol for the fediverse! Read our proposal at https://symbol.fediverse.info
@jeder@miau.jeder.pl@FediverseSymbol no, get out
@jeder @FediverseSymbol Yeah, it’s totally impossible to use the actual fediverse symbol, 
, in text. Clearly 
@jeder@miau.jeder.pl@crowbriarhexe @FediverseSymbol i hate this trend where every symbol has to be already available in unicode, just because senior nazi of america did it
@jeder @FediverseSymbol And look like ass. And remove even the slightest suggestion of LGBTQIA acceptance.
@vegafjord@freeradical.zone@crowbriarhexe How does it remove suggestion of LGBTQIA acceptance?
@jeder @crowbriarhexe The timing is unfortunate indeed, but it’s really unrelated, we started talking about this idea in 2022, so absolutely not following any trend started by that monster.
@crowbriarhexe @jeder True, we meant outside of fedi, like on another platform or document where you cannot insert inline images, just text.
@crowbriarhexe @jeder The other thing is on a visual design standpoint: unless you have a very good screen and very good eyes, the details kind of disappear at that size, the pixels mix up the small details. Hence the idea of a simpler, one-colour, symbol for uses like that.
It’s just a proposal. We have no pretense of replacing everywhere the original pentagram (we cannot insert it on our instance), we actually like it a lot for what it means and how it’s been used by the community.
