United Federation of Instances now has hundreds of thousands of users! We had a few more join last night.
DM me if you want to join, be a founding member. Joining will be a much harder process once we launch in about a week.
Reminder: If anyone from any instance, large or small, wants to be added as a founding member of the United Federation of Instances please send me a private message. Happy to add anyone who adheres to the code of ethics.
You can always leave any time.
We have close to 200,000 members right now.

United Federation of Instances hasnt even launched yet and already has 200K members,
if you want to join please DM me (not going public with the list until launch), any insttance any size are welcome.
I will announce the launch in the next few days by the look of things.
Holy hell, I only opened up applications for member sof the UFoI and we already have over 200,000 members total in the application list (the sum of all users across all instances applying).... amazing!
I am now compiling a list of all servers who may have an interest in joining the United Federation of Instances.
Quite a few instances have already signed up.
Please reach out to me, all servers of any size are welcome!
This is non binding, its just to get a preliminary list. You can withdrawl at any time and dont have to go through the application process. I just want to know what servers to reach out to once we begin kicking things off.
If you are a server admin please let me know **in DM** if you have an interest and I will add you to the (for now) private list. I want to only release the list once we have enough momentum so please respond in DM only.
for those who are new to this you can read the proposal here:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
You can read the early draft of the full bylaws here:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf
Both of these will still undergo a lot of modification. For information on how to join the conversation see this post:

You can see the progress and conversation specifically at the official repo here:
Proof that the new "fediblock" on the wiki run by Paula intentionally suppresses counter-evidence and proof towards block entries. Despite the fact that I provided tons of proof that show the "evidence" provided for a block against QOTO is false they refuse to updatte the block with the additional evidence and effectively suppresses countner evidence.
This is why there needs to be Due process like im trying to build with the #UFoI and not just one dictator named paula cherry picking what evidence she thinks is valid and blocking the rest.
Here is a link to the discussion if you want to see it first hand (screen shots included). I highly recommend everyone leave a comment expressing your concerns for visibility:
With all this drama going on its no surprise that I keep thinking of this quote over and over....
(my own #calligraphy )
No surprise, now these toxic bullies from tech.lgbt are trying to have private conversations with me, which I of course indulge, and then quote whatever ammo they can use out of context and dump the rest...
It is amazing these people trust anyone who is so clearly **not** being transparent.
Qoto.org blocking, genocide mention
I'm blocked so I cantt correct Rich... but who is going to tell him that he is lieing (or misinformed).
We have clear rules about child porn as is shown below. I was asked but someone about it and at the time we had never had to address it so I mentioned tthe moderators would need to vote to get it added to our rules.. moments later we voted and added it... Naturally the person lied and posted out of context about the vote and never bothered to let people know we updated our rules moments later.
As to his comment about kiwifarms.. lets be clear. I saw a list on a website whose domain name was not associated with kiwifarms as far as I knew.. it just so happened that list was generated using a tool that happened to be written by kiwifarms... obviously I didnt know this.
This shit is getting absurd...
This comment on reddit meant so much to hear!

Funny how @Gargron was so concerned about popular opinion and "optics" when he delisted us... Now the thread on reddit discussing this is already more popular than any other thread this month and will likely hit an all time high.
Shame about the bad optics...

I am trying to rotisserie some red meat on the grill for the first time. That white thing behind the meat is a gas burner plus there are for gas burners underneath.... what i dont know is how to do it.. do i turn on all burners, side and bottom? Do i use high heat or low? Do i close the lid or leave it open?
My guess is all burners on, highest heat, lid closed.
LOL my article got my blocked by #joinmastodon on twitter... haha

For those who care attached are the screenshots of the nazi who was banned from QOTO some time back and started a hate campaign by pretending to be LGBTQ ally "calling us out" but just made up lies... he did this over the course of many months and ultimately is the source of the problems that snowballed and led to all this to begin with.
I will do a write up on this soon.
So I trolled my business partner today with the image that was floating around where someone photoshopped my company's team page (where I happen to show up).. They photoshopped my avatar from here on there...
I sent it to the company's group chat as an image and send "company page all done, updated"... needless to say he thought i was serious and he lost his shit for a good 30 seconds before he realized it was photoshopped.... soooo worth it.
