Hasta siempre, profesor Silva, Manolo http://i3a.unizar.es/es/noticias/hasta-siempre-profesor-silva-manolo
Does having 6 different ways to pay get you 6x more donations? I wonder....
@voidabyss I disagree, the end result of that are far-left and far-right silos, and silos for every other interest group.. the far-anything will always be isolated by the very consequence of being an extremist. They are welcome to isolate themselves. The UFI is intended for those who want to be part of the greater community, within certain reasonable limits.
Just FYI, I now set it up so any changed to the document at the link in my last post, once accepted, will automatically compile to a PDF and update teh version hosted here automatically.
So you can follow this link if you want to see the latest version of the document at any time:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
Im now working ont he more technical bylaws document. Which I will update everyone on soon.

@cwh050 Callsign WI2ARD here, nice to have you.
@frankiesaxx yes, this unique rules for each server thing is partly what I wanted to preserve.
Keep in mind the code of ethics is intentionally incomplete. It only covers the minimum one would expect of a good-actor, the sort of traits most everyone could agree on if their trying to be decent... but each instance in the UFoI also have the option to create additional stricter rules for their instance.
@frankiesaxx the UFoI is **purely** social. It has no technological components of any kind.
@stux hit me up if i can be of any help
@frankiesaxx can you tell me their handle on mastodon, ill politely reach out, thanks.
@frankiesaxx Never hurts to ask and see. Perhaps they have ideas that it could be constructed in a better way.
@frankiesaxx perhaps they would want to be part of the UFoI, or at the very least might want to join the discussion about it... maybe you should ask them?
@frankiesaxx yea, the hope here is that interpersonal drama stays out, if it isnt evidence based, an an instance has proven to meet the mutually agreedupon ethics, then the interpersonal drama needs to go.
@voidabyss He is generally left leaning, but only so far as its popular with the left.. he will cave on a dime to anti-left agenda so long as it is popular to do so.
> Delisting QOTO from joinmastodon is messed up, but I don't think that proves that Eugen caves to NAZI's agenda.
He knew the Nazi's agenda, he knew it was having the intended effect, he caved to that agendas effect.. While he may of done it purely to be popular the truth is he DID cave to their agenda.
> The main reason I joined qoto is because I read somewhere that this instance don't defed from others, so I can reach and read from people all over the fediverse and not stay in one instance bubble. That all I care about and I think what most people do. The second reason is that this instance is stable no downtime and my data is safe and secure. This by itself is amazing and great accomplishment, people don't give credit enough to the sysadmin work.
Thank you, I'd say these are true
> Let's get back to science article posting and let the activist (let and right) scream into the the void abyss. (pun intended)
The drama is over at this point, now we are working on a solution... we are working to build a "United Federation of Instances" with the intent of addressing this issue for QOTO and other instances in the future.
@frankiesaxx Thanks.. the idea is to make defederation evidence based rather than rumor based... it wont be a "court" for any instance outside of the federation. It will only govern the members who elect to join.

# 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.

@timezoneless We did address that breifly, maybe it needs more emphasis.. but basically an instance outside of the UFI will be treated however eachmember instance wishes to treat it, but it is encouraged no one assume they are bad actors simply for not being in the UFI.
@timezoneless I will be creating the gitlab repo for this shortly. Would you mind repeating your concerns there and openning it for discussion.
