@FediverseSymbol I generally like the idea for a unicode symbol for the Fediverse, though I'd not replace the pentagram with it, but use both, depending on the use case.

What I definitely don't like is this top down approach. "Hey, here is a new symbol for the Fediverse. Spread it!". Shouldn't this be a democratic process?

Fediverse Symbol ⁂

@PaulaToThePeople It is a proposal, as said in the first line of the article. We don’t want, and can’t impose it, obviously!

@FediverseSymbol Yeah, but it's a concrete proposal.
That makes finding a democratically chosen unicode character way harder. Every other suggestion would have to create their own campain, but this one already has a headstart and a subdomain of one of the most famous fedi-meta-domains.
I don't think anyone will want to spend the time and money to compete with that.

@PaulaToThePeople This all started as an open question “whats the best unicode character to represent the fediverse?” social.wake.st/@liaizon/108974

@FediverseSymbol Okay so there was a post with 13 boosts and 4 suggestions (ignoring the joke suggestions).

And then you go with one suggestion and start a big campaign.

Sounds like the wrong succession to me, to make a real democratic effort.
