    There is no real dichotomy between the logo we have and the proposed typographical symbol. They have different uses, neither can really replace the other. Keep the established colourful Fediverse logo in visual layouts and when desired use the typographical symbol in text. It is natural that they won’t be exactly the same symbol because they are designed for different needs; one is meant to look pretty and one is meant to read well as text.

    That’s nonsense.

    If you know what those reasons are, then whether or not they have been articulated should not influence how you feel about those reasons. To think I could control your mind by not saying things. Just think of all the things I am not saying right now. You’ll go mad.

    If you DON’T know what those reasons are, then you are simply not able to respect them less than you do now.

    Can you answer, “Why do we need a symbol that represents the Fediverse?” Because modulo that, your question becomes, “Why does the symbol that represents the Fediverse have to have a Unicode codepoint?”

    We don’t need it to be a Unicode character, but there are advantages if it is that are so obvious they don’t even bear discussion.
