Brown pelicans fly over the Bay Bridge as the sun rises. Early birds just like me 🌞

# United Federation of Instances Proposal
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
I tagged below everyone who asked me to tag them. I have now started a gitlab group and project where we can discuss the #UFoI proposal transparently and with a good recorded history.
Please start discussions by creating issues, and any edits you have to the proposal please edit on gitlab and submit as a merge request, which can then be discussed.
I will write the CI code to make sure the document gets compiled.
I will try to leave the mass-message like here just to the major developments as it feels a bit spammy. I will only send out one more notification once the by laws draft is up. Of course if anyone does not want to get notified let me know and ill leave you off from future discussions.

This is the Twitter -> Mastodon friend migration tool we've all been looking for: https://www.movetodon.org/
1) authorize Twitter
2) authorize your Mastodon instance
3) wait while it greps through your Twitter followers
4) click on the ones you want to add on Mastodon
Easy peasy!
A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
I miss #LibrarianTwitter. Recommend me more library folks to follow here??

More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime.
Violence against women & girls remains the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide.
We need to #PushForward to end the violence NOW: http://unwo.men/6Y2q50LMxTq

💭 Normalize confirming reports of problematic {users, instances} before taking irreversible actions.
How’s it going, you adorable extinct elephant folks? 🦣
Having a good day? Not-so good?
I am relaxing after driving for 7 hours yesterday, but I am grateful to have the week off. I’m currently reading a lush dark YA fantasy called Belladonna by Adalyn Grace and hope to finish today.
Say hi! 👋🏼
This is a big problem for Mastodon.
Canadian journalist Erica Ifill just had her mastodon.online account suspended without explanation. She's been sharing stuff critical of Mastodon re: intersectional issues.
I get the decentralized structure and idea that each server has its own rules. But this Reddit-style moderation, where moderators with god-complexes make mysterious and arbitrary decisions, is going to cause people migrating to Mastodon to flee in droves.

Another Black person played Mastodon "instance roulette" and lost.
We need a Mastodon instance Green Book pronto or this ain't gonna work.
This is starting to feel like the WW2 Dunkirk evacuation where the Black and Indian Commonwealth soldiers were abandoned on the beach...
