We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.
…
⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.
…
@ is the symbol for e-mail. # is the symbol for hashtags. ☮ is the symbol for peace. ♻ is the symbol for recycling. ⁂ can be the symbol for the fediverse. ⁂ is standardised as Unicode U+2042, making it ready to copy and insert anywhere.

It’s literally a character, like aitch.
I’m pretty sure we’re cool to use it. The advantage of using a glyph that already exists in Unicode is huge.
Are you one of the three proposers mentioned in the git repository?
No I’m just so very bored and this is the classic bikeshed issue so I figure I won’t cause any problems here.
