intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoWhy do we need to have a unicode character that refers to the fediverse?
Are we trying to replace our alphabetical language with a language of ideograms?

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 obvious advantages if it is that don’t even bear discussion.

If they can’t be articulated, I lose respect for those reasons

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.
