@Squirrel News I think is news from the app developer.. what app are you using, I dont think that even has to do with the server but im not sure off hand.
Federation happens automatically. I am not sure if they have us blocked or not. There are a lot of extremist servers that are very aggressive with blocking and block most of the fediverse. I am not sure if this is one of them as I never heard of that server. It is best to ask the administrator or if you have a friend there to have them ask.

A month ago I became #NewOnMastodon, still learning, but liking it more and more here.
As an #EarthSystem scientist I am fascinated about the #CarbonCycle, especially in the #ocean and how we quantify it with Earth System #models in past, present, and future climates.
#ClimateChange is essentially a #CO2 problem. It is virtually impossible to be a #ClimateScientist without becoming deeply concerned about #ClimateEmergency.
Watch this space for my extended #IntroductionPost.

I am with you @f3ttt , if I find a troll, I block it. I too have never been subject to big attacks but may be my use is very limited or use case is different from those who have faced such harrasment and there must be good reasons for such actions.
I believe some thing are best left to the choice of individuals who are using the medium. Another good server you can find where they allow good sense and good science to thrive is qoto.org tagging
May want to try it out.

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a seal and a sea lion then HAVE I GOT THE CHART FOR YOU.

No rush, polenty of work yet to be done. I started the bylaws (sneak preview here):

@admitsWrongIfProven @toplesstopics
For some different ways to discuss with the larger group see this post I made:
Gitlab is ultimately where the vote happens, so it will be the most critical to be involved. Obviousaly you are missing out on some conversation by not being in the matrix, but at least its not where the final decisions take place.
@georgetakei Glad to see you are enjoying yourself.
Best of luck in your endeavors there.
Since I'm trying to phase out tagging everyone individually, as it feels a bit scammy, but everyone asked to be kept in the loop... so here are some alternate "official" ways the conversation should continue:
1) On the official Gitlab repository, which is where all voting and formal discussions will take place
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
2) The group found here for mastodon discussions (just tag them instead of everyone): @ufoi
3) On matrix chat. #UFoI:matrix.org
And of sourse you are all welcome to contact me directly. I am very excited how there is so much talk about it and it hasnt even been released for 24 hours yet!

It was more straightforward than that from what I saw (I was there and witnessed this first hand)... His people called for doxxing and violence, the admin commented on it and review it and decided it was allowed on his timeline. THIS caused the outrage and he got a lot of shit... only after people started blocking him did he decide to remove the post.. but his server has remained radicalized regardless..
To be clear WE dont block them.. they block a **huge** portion of the fediverse and have isolated themselves as many of the extremist servers tend to do.
Hi, thanks. That makes me happy to hear as those are all things I aspire for in my instance (Well except the English part, we are multi-lingual).
The #UFoI is a very exciting development and I am really happy to see all the conversation and participation around that (and it hasn't even been a day!). I am really hopeful it will be a force of good in the fediverse and help add some sanity and a counter-force to the fracturing we are currently seeing.

I wanted an instance
- in #english
- with reasonable and #openMinded rule set
- #LGBTQ+ friendly (even if I am not, but most of my #friends are)
- that did not block other #instances, at most muted but open
- with open minded #admins
- with extended functionalities
- #STEM oriented
I ended up with #qoto, pretty happy about it!
Have also considered:
- #Japan, #Linux, #art, #3D, #vfx, #FOSS, #FLOSS, #blender oriented ones.
At #today, would also consider their aderation at the #UnitedFederationOfInstances ( #UFI )
I know for a fact that @freemo might want to participate in the #conversation @thibaultamartin @matrix
Please everyone, add these opinions to the gitlab.. remember only votes on the gitlab will be counted so the only way to actually get heard is to voice your concerns there.
discussion of violence, examples of bad things to say
@admitsWrongIfProven I think this is ell thought out.. can you put this thread or some version of it on the gitlab as a discussion, I think it needs a wider audience.
@icedquinn So register an account, their free. Best to get your opinion heard if its an issue for you, it will be taken seriously
