People want to change the Fedi logo :fediverse:, which shows diversity in Fedi with the colors and interconnectivity with the pentagram, to an asterism ⁂, which....is all white and disconnected.

It can be colored using an image, but that's one of the reasons for wanting the change, so that an image isn't needed...
Furthermore, an asterism is a Unicode character, which is not a good idea to use as a "logo", as MANY people said when Elon did the same thing...
Let's not mimic Elon. He's not exactly a good person to mimic the behavior of...

I disagree with changing the logo to that unicode character.
I also think its a huge reach to say its “a white pentagram”.
A **penta**gram has five points.

@breadsmasher 🤨the pentagram ISNT white. That's my point.
The asterism are white stars that aren't connected.
You made my point by missing it.

The logo is good I think, but the fediverse needs to rebrand because “Fedi” sounds too much like fetish.

@PriorityMotif ️no...just no...
People have a natural attraction to interesting and new words. Fediverse is a portmanteau of Federated Universe and describes exactly what it is.
"Open social web" is suggested by some, but it's boring and uninteresting. If I heard that term, I'd immediately assume they were talking about corporate social media platforms and never think twice.
Fediverse is a fine name and :fediverse: is a fantastic logo. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

@BeAware Very fitting image for the Fediverse where "fedi" stands for "fediblock"
For the rest of the network we can use much better ꙮ

I wouldn’t use three interconneces buttholes as a symbol for anything…

@Blackthorn three *barely touching* buttholes...
-
@BeAware ugh, can we not change it….or if they insist....can we find something better than a swirl of astericks that just looks bland?
-
@ppb1701 I'm not changing it and muting people that add it to their usernames.
I don't want people to get the wrong idea about Fedi.
It's obviously not all white and disconnected....
-
The asterism makes me think of “three cat butthole moon” everytime I see it, so yeah, perfect logo I guess.
-
The problem is that there's no "i" in "federated."
I propose that we all start calling it the Feddaverse
-
@kbal @PriorityMotif Well...not sure if you jest or not, but the I comes from Universe.
-
There's also a "diverse" in there.
