@icedquinn Make sure you mention all this on the repo then so it can be taken into consideration when making a decision:
@icedquinn That is a valid point in general... but instances on the fediverse dont usually have "merchant accounts", they receive donations sometimes but not through any means that makes these sorts of stipulations that I know of.
scholar.social is a particularly violent server. Their admin specifically approved a user on their server calling people to bomb others as well as doxx them. Effectively calling illegal calls to violence.
As such they block many servers probably because they have had too much trouble with the police at this point. QOTO is among them.

@Romaq Can you at least crete and issue ther eand just copy and paste it in, this way we keep it.
@wooliex By all means leave your feedback on the gitlab in that recard. I'd support a change to the current document that removes the rule regarding commercial content.
@wooliex You can see a live preview of the PDF here: https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
Any edits made will show up in pdf right after their made, so the link to the pdf is always up to date... makes it very easy to read.
You can also compile it locally with one command and nothing needs to be installed (other than docker).
So energizing to see all this activity after just a few hours of launching the United Federation of Instances repo.

We already have 7 discussions going on and 2 merge requests for the proposal... The more people keep getting involved the more energy I have to put more into it. Cant wait to finish a draft of the bylaws.
If MRFs were a think on mastodon (someone correct me if im wrong but they arent) then id agree with you.. but I dont think it would work too well for the mastodon side.
I agree.. the proposal is meant to summarize the basic jist of it.. the bylaws document and Code of Ethics/Conduct documetn I write seperately will be much more detailed. I also agree the wording is very critical to strike a balance between justice and freedom.

This is actually sort of where coalitions come in. Their job can be to document subsets of the rules and provide lists which users can use.. for example if we decide to allow nudity then maybe as a compromise we can create coalition whose job it is to document instances that allow different types of nudity and then users can use that as a block list if they want or even as an allow list.
Thanksm, looking forward to har your feedback.

@pwinn Its fair except for one very important fact... that all the accuasations against a server are heard and evidence documented, and democratically decided.
the point is the due process means there is a public ledger of all accusations made against the server and the evidence. and the decision... this level of transparency adds a vital level of protection
You should throw in your two cents if your interested.
We already have 4 discussions and one edit going here (you can jump in too):

Illness, covid precautions
@toplesstopics I wish I could have gotten sent home from school for fatigue, I never would have been in school :)
@JonKramer Well if the rule is that it needs to be marked sensative, or behind CW (which is what i propose).. then yes you can still share it, it will just be obscured until someone clicks to view it.
