An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads

@liaizon I've only ever seen this Threads logo in posts bashing it. It ends up giving it more exposure.

OTOH, a few weeks ago I've seen people here arguing against the top logo, coming up with roundabout reasons to complain about it because it wasn't this-or-that enough (honestly, I'm too much of a cynic to buy it). That just fell right into Meta's lap as a "there's no agreed-upon logo".

That and the constant Mastodon and .social bashing from the inside clearly works to Meta's benefit.

@hisham_hm I have a love hate relationship with the fediverse pentagram symbol. It really doesnt work well at small sizes...
