Happy to show a new proposal for a #Fediverse icon.
We received feedback from the #FediverseIcon we did in January (thanks @PaulaToThePeople). This one is more fun.

Has an 'F'
PentoStar motif
Not fully connected
Some connections better
A happy face, and
A very quick prototype.
We wanted to wait till 2022 before doing a new design but we needed a break from stuff so… here tis.
@dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople @humanetech
Looks good, do we need a new hashtag for next year too.
Current one seems to be
#YearOfTheFediverse
Perhaps we keep going with that, as there is also
@zleap @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
Yah, I introduced those. Don't know if it was a glorious year 😑
Rather have a new hashtag. How about:
"In 2022 there's the Fediverse for You"
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
How about #TheYearFacebookDies :D
On a serious note
I think we can just stick to #TheYearOfTheFediverse that way anyone clicking on that will find more related content,
@zleap @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
#YetAnotherYearOfTheFediverse? 😜
Serious. Might keep the hashtag, though. But it would be nicer if each year we come up with a different one.
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
Yes I agree there, reminds me of the one that is Year of the Linux Desktop, it has been that for 20 years +
Still no closer to that.,
@zleap @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
I feel that 2022 should be "The Year of Bonding" for the fedi.
With that I mean on one hand to get more community collaboration ongoing, tighter social bonds. And on the other hand we need to attend to interoperability, the technical bonds that hold the fedi together.
On both sides there's weakness now.
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
Yes, are you on
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/
I think they are looking for more input / ideas on taking things forward.
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
I am on there too, recently joiined the fediverse Special interest group (it is also on my CV)
@zleap @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
I know. I added you 😉
Currently the SocialHub itself is in need to have more lively interaction. I feel currently we are not ready to do much SIG work.
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
If we can get non technical people on board, such as those who deal with e-safety, mental health etc, we could get input from them too.
This was my intention. And I created #FediverseFutures section for it, to be more non-technical, and with a companion brainstorming space on #Lemmy at https://lemmy.ml/c/fediversefutures
And @PaulaToThePeople started the https://fediverse.town community specifically for that purpose. We can closely cooperate between communities in this.
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
I am happy to promote things on my blog. if it helps
@zleap @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
Sure. All promo helps! I would just stick to the stuff that you are most enthusiastic about yourself. Helps to keep motivated :)
@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
Yeah, good point it also avoids being stuck with the technical side of thins
@zleap
It all depends on eyeballs and interaction.
You will not believe how many eyeballs you get by covering your vehicle in a few corflute signs. If you do that people see the name. Most people need to see a name at least three times.

@zleap @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople
Yes, I am moderator (@aschrijver) and spent quite a bit of time to point out these weaknesses. Wrote several longer articles. But with limited results. Everyone seems too busy, too focussed on own projects, or not seeing the needs as urgent as I do, apparently.
I created the current forum header "Here we build the Fediverse. Join us. Social networking reimagined".
