We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

The icon created by meta gives me shivers...

I know why you did it so fast and why you choose ⁂, it's already present and works as expected and probably to overcome meta's implication into the fediverse...

However, every symbol didn't exist at first and became popular on it's own because it defended something people found important and fought for (Like the peace symbol)!

Maybe create our own symbol and let it make enough noise so it becomes it's own symbol?

Sorry if it isn't clear what I mean by that :/

I think many people share your sentiment and have argued the same point in other threads

Wait......this symbol already existed? What was it used to represent?

It's in Unicode, duh... Otherwise, you'd need an image to represent it.
