Yeah. “Social Web” sounds awful.

I hope the Fediverse stays true to current it’s glorious self, and welcomes normal folks later, when they stumble into the light, out of the burning wreckage of the crap they’re using now.

@BeAware social web is the biggest branding turd I have ever heard of

@BeAware Fediverse on the other hand is wonderful

@elektropunk @sl007 @BeAware It is a custom emoji from the Mastodon serve but I'm pretty sure chaos.social has those too. Check the emoji button in your Mastodon client or in the web client.

@BeAware I get that and I also don't particularly like ⁂ as the option. But the idea that we can't find some more useful logo because it'll confuse people when most people are unaware of the Fediverse's current branding seems off. If there's any time to debate the logo it'd be now before all these massive companies with hundreds of millions of users settle on a logo w/o the input of the open-source side of the fediverse.

I doubt Threads will ever move on from their version, but Flipboard has signaled they're willing to change out the logo they're using
