[SOLVED] Why do a lot of people put a ground symbol (⏚) in their username (esp on Mastodon)?
Solved: It's used by members and/or supporters of Les Soulèvements de la Terre, a French radical ecologist movement disbanded by Macron's right-wing government.

I don't think I've ever seen that symbol in a username anywhere.
Maybe you can just ask them?
A French environmentalists organization which was disbanded for being "eco terrorists" for Conservative use the ground symbol as a logo.
I'm not sure about the French translation, but another word for ground is Earth. As a guess, an environmentalist group is probably adapting it from that terminology.
Yep that s earth in french too
Makes sense, I think most users I've seen are french speakers. Which org?Edit: nvm I found them, it's Les Soulèvements de la Terre. Thank you!
It means they are a bottom.
Flight sim enthusiasts
Because they're grounded.
Maybe they're sponsored by ground news like every YouTube channel
Have you ever played Raid: Shadow Legends?
I don’t know but that’s a ground symbol like you would see on an electronics schematic.
Duh.
Man I’m just getting killed for misreading stuff lately.

I actually think the post title and text were edited AFTER I responded which made me look like an idiot, but whatever.
