What is this?

Well, if symbolism will be someone's downfall, at least I want to know what it is.

This is a collection of symbols and their meanings. You can search for a symbol and learn more about it. The content is user-generated and moderated. If you'd like to contribute, post some symbol decodes on X and use the hashtag #decodingsymbols.

I check X regularly and if I see a good decode, I'll reach out to you to see if you'd like to contribute to this project.

The radiation count is a measure of how nuclear the community considers a symbol. It's a measure of how popular a symbol is.


Look, I get it. This is a weird project and some people might think this whole thing is a little schizo. I get it. It is a little schizo, tbh.But I think it's fun and I hope you do too. If you don't, that's cool too.

Rules

Yes, there are rules.

Special Thanks

This project grew out of my fascination of endless hours of reading this blog. I wanted to make a more interactive version of it. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the author of that blog for the inspiration. They are a better writer than I am and they put an incredible amount of work into their blog. There is no affiliation between this project and that blog. The ideas expressed in the blog are not necessarily the ideas expressed by the users of this project.

Supporting the project

Currently, this project is 100% financed by me. If it ever grows to a point where it needs more infrastructure resources than I can afford, I will consider options.

About the creator

Any affiliation with any organization is purely coincidental. I am just a person who likes to code and read about symbols. I am not affiliated with any organization. I am not a member of any organization. I am not a member of any secret society. I am not a member of any cult. If anyone claims that this app is censoring them, they are lying. No censorship is happening on this platform. Data is deleted when it is illegal or violates the rules.

Who is this for?

Ever had that feeling that there was more to a symbol than meets the eye? Ever had that feeling that while reading the news, you felt like you were reading something entirely different than what was written, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it?
Well, you might be a little crazy. But that might be okay! Because there is a vibrant community of people who feel the same way. This is dedicated to you. This is for you. This is for the people who don't take things at face value. This is for the people who want to know more about the world around them. This is for the people who want to know more about the symbols that might or might not be all around us.
This is an attempt to crowdsource the creativity of this community. So please, join the discussion and become an editor!
