@stevenclyman will do
@stevenclyman Sure, sounds fine... would you at least like a copy of the draft when I send it. You can respond to it if you like, no pressure.
@robryk Do you also want to be involved on in the conversation or nah?
@stux morning
@stevenclyman So that seems more like a set of minimal rules you should follow for moderating your own instance... Very different from what I am proposing which is an actual federation of instances ...
I think you'd understand the differences best if i send you the draft. Would you be interested in joining the discussion and offering feedback?
@georgetakei We dont deserve you! Thank you for your wonderful contributions.
@stevenclyman My guess would be the big difference for us would be due process, democrattic process, and a no-defederating within the UFI policy... but again id need to see these other attempts to really say.
@stevenclyman A very good question.. can you link me to previous efforts so I can review their approach and then I would be happy to tell you how/if we differ.
Qoto.org blocking, genocide mention
I'm glad to hear your rational response. I also want to say if you DO see anything you disagree with, please report it first. Bad-actors cant be handled if I dont know about it, and we DO handle bad actors when they come up.
I am working with a coalition of admins right now to bring a solution to the fediverse to address this very thing. A way to document accusations and ensure they have their due process and to allow for a "United Federation of Instances" that have some assurances they are good actors as a result of this.
@skanman once i get some responses ill send out a seperate DM that shares the initial draft and opens up the floor to discussion.
I am gathering a list of people who want to be involved in the discussion around the formation of a "United Federation of Instances" which is an attempt to combat the fracturing of the fediverse and the general spreading of misinformation WRT moderation decisions.
If anyone is interested in being a part of it let me know in the replies. I will add you to the list, share the draft proposal, and we can start discussions. I have several people already interested.
@al1r4d Thank you.
@PawelK I've got something very big int he works that may fix the problems we are facing...
@skanman Always, thank you.
