"I'm already apart of the Fediverse" 🥲

What are you moving away to? I'm assuming you're still keeping your VPNs and DNS ad-blockers etc?
Stars are perhaps even more common in written text for highlights and annotations than typed text, at least around here. I can draw a star much faster than three asterisks. But it wouldn't be very easily distinguishable as the Fediverse star. And that's the same between the regular sharp and pointy star and the rounded outline one.
Now, if we could get the Unicode Consortium to add the graphical logo, I'd be sold. But if we must pick an existing character, I for one prefer the outlined star (⚝) much more than either the asterism (⁂) or the pentagram (⛧).
Unlike the pentagram, it aligns a lot better with inline text and looks nice and smooth. It's also far less commonly used or overloaded with existing readings.
The asterism would be easier to unambiguously read or write by hand though! That's its one pro.
For a while I was seeing people use the asterism symbol (⁂) around my Mastodon feed. Wonder what happened to that movement.
Those rumours about moonlit orgies can't all be wrong. They are the f-druids after all...
The ability to post a video to multiple co-authors' channels.
Instantly brought back memories of zoning out to Knytt on my then new PC 😊
I quite enjoyed this write-up, OP 😊
I agree. All of that is very true. That's why I am comparing it to Dwarf Fortress myself, which is similarly expensive.
Yet, the bias I feel between the two is one I cannot explain.
But I'm sure in a few days I'd consider it a Christmas gift to myself anyway and forget all about how expensive it felt at the moment :]

Noting wrong with the IA whatsoever. But given how harshly they've been treated by basically every government and corporate interest groups they've been forced to contend with foot the last few years, and the regular DDOSes, I personally always feel guilty downloading things from them and spending more of their resources on "relatively frivolous" things.
