@Pat Fuck no ::flicks his nipples:: you're good bro :)
@Pat Creative though :)
There is a Code of Ethics an instance needs to adhere to in order to get intot he UFoI. That code of ethics is already a subset of the QOTO ToC. So it changes nothing on our end in that regard.
If does mean, however, we will be up for criticism should we break our own rules.
@dump_stack Ok, stay int he loop in the next few days at those links. I will add you to the list, feel free to contribute to the bylaws if you have any input in the meantime.. website coming soon.
Do you have an icon for your instance or shall I use something generic?
@Pat You become members when the instance becomes a member.. it wont change anything for you really other than having the option to contribute to the UFoI if you wanted.
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.

@dump_stack Hi. I'm trying to see what admins might be interested in being founding members of the UFoI (see attached link). Someone mentioned you might be interested? You can back out at any time, so no obligation if things go south. We just need to define who will be the founding members (we have a few already).
🇳🇱
@freemo@social.cleverlibre.org
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...
@curtis Yes those are a good place to start, really the only material we have so far. Keep in mind both are incomplete and still up for debate. But it does seem we are pretty close to a consensus.

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!

Timeline (especially federated) updating so fast you can't scroll through it? Turn on slow mode.
@davoloid i still need a few more big instances before I make it official. I dont want there to be just a few big instances dominatting the system. But yea we are well on our way it seems.

@atomicpoet You might want to consider the United Federation of Instances as an interesting new dynamic in this conversation
As someone pointed out you should consider the #UFoI You can either join it outright or remain independent and adopt our code of Ethics.
We are new but we already have over 200K users joining when we kick off in the next few days. Its basically an alliance of instance admins who agree to be "good-actors" by adopting a minimal set of moderation ethics.
You have the advantage of being garunteed to get to federate with the rest of the UFoI
Check out more info here:
https://qoto.org/@freemo/109433298021890915
Any one is welcome to join even new instances with no users yet.
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!

It is something I am explicitly placing in the bylaws.. Remember we do **not** defederate or ban servers who are bad actors within or without the UFoI... our stance is we garuntee federation within the UFoI but make no rules or expectations for defederating.
The fundemental principle here is a positive federation about ensuring connections, blocking and suspending is not a part of the UFoI on any level, bad acrtors just dont get garunteed federation anymore, thats all.
Would you like me to add you and if you get any sense of it being a problem you can always leave no questions asked?
Well depends what you mean by that.. in short, no. You can just join, go about your business and answer to no one. If you dont follow the rules you might not get in or stay in, but there are no reprocusions other than not to be in the UFoI. So you really dont need to answer to anyone or change anything, just be a good actor as i am sure you are and not a problem, if someone thinks your a bad actor you just leave, no answering to anyone.
