Sometimes a silly question simmers in your mind for years till a few internet friends come along and turn it into something more concrete: the @FediverseSymbol is an initiative to promote the asterism symbol ⁂ as a way to reference the fediverse more generally.
Check out https://symbol.fediverse.info and feel free to get involved however you see fit!

This project has mostly been @raphael and @nclm making this idea into a thing. But I feel excited to be involved in this history after this hell thread from 2022 took a life of its own.

Three asterisks is a good symbol for the Fediverse because sometimes, we are a pile of assholes. -
@liaizon @FediverseSymbol So ⁂ is U+2042 right?
-
@maxthyme @FediverseSymbol yeah!

@liaizon I really don't know why there must be an other symbol. We have one in the #Fediverse quite a long time. No, I don't see why to replace it.

@TrickTim @liaizon @FediverseSymbol Yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw this was, y’all never read Vonnegut?
Hard pass. (It also looks like a shaggy mess. We already have a much better symbol)

@liaizon @FediverseSymbol I feel like a lot of people dumping on you because the pentagram is "already good enough" haven't tried to use it at a small size. I've dropped it into a number of print designs where I previously used the Twitter symbol, and it just doesn't scale down that great
I for one like this, whether it is stars or snowflakes or even a pile of arseholes. (I think that's a feature, not a bug. If we can't have a sense of humour about ourselves, what are we even doing?)

@TheArtGremblin @FediverseSymbol thanks for the kind words
