[Fediverse Symbol ⁂](https://typo.social/@FediverseSymbol ), idk, I'm kinda torn between this and the Meta one.
In my mind, Meta's doesn't mean "centralized", it rather means that the bigger planet is your home server and the other ones orbit it. Mastodon and PeerTube introductory videos also make use of the planet metaphor to explain decentralization. As well as Threads, in the explainer when you turn on fediverse sharing.
But then a cluster of three asterisks, or *stars*, can also mean a constellation (of servers), so it also works.
The pentagram symbol doesn't work *as is*. But I'm also sure it can be drawn as pixel art at 16x16 to be legible. Naive downscaling rarely produces good results at these sizes. As an example, here's the Smithereen 16x16 favicon I drew pixel by pixel at that size:
