@lavenderlens thats very strang.. it is usually pretty good software.. if you have anymore trouble let me know I can try to help.

@tero

It is for the United Federation of Instances.. see the proposal here (still being draftted): https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf

Its basically a set of instances that agree to a basic code of ethics and agree to federate with other instances in the UFoI. Any admitance and expulsion undergoes evidence-based due process, no gossip or angy mobs.

Instances can leave at any time too,

@ufoi

@tonic wonderful, just apply to the repo for access or jump right in on the issues or merge requests:

https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution

ill let ya know when your added to the contributors file in a few minutes.

Just a reminder, as I get this a lot, but joining the United Federation of Instances doesnt require **any** time contribution of the part of its admins or instances. Any voting is totally optional to participate. As long as your instance follows our code of ethics you can join, nothing else required other than to federate to other UFoI instance.

DM me if you want to talk more, are are at over 200,000 members and will be open to more over the next week or so before membership will become harder and more formalized.

all intances welcome, from single user to large instances.

If anyone wants to help on the United Federation of Instances website let me know.

I have a first working version done. But welcome any improvements (including to layout) as well as some help filling in some of the documentation.

There is also some room for scripts to help make the whole thing work, we can talk if anyone wants to help there.

Anyone, anyone interested in helping let me know. I will send a link to the current website in private at request, I just dont want to share it with the world until its more complete.

@tonic Shall I add you as a contributor and give you access.. you can just lurk, but feel free to contribute.

@tatzelbrumm I am not sure, I do hope so.. if not id be quite upset.

@blind_lightning Die hard, 100%

@prodygy I agree entierly, and would equally defend my musslim and even christian friends.

There are 2 ways to sign up to the United Federation of Instances, for those wondering.

We have over 200,000 members but looking for more before launch.

One, and the most important, is as an instance admin bringing your instance onto the UFoI. For this you dont need to do anything other than ensure you follow our basic code of conduct. See the proposal/by laws for that:

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf

Other than that you dont have to do anything to be a member, and you can be a one person instance or a large instance. You do need to promise to federate with other instances in the UFoI. Also you can leave at any time, no questions asked, so not much obligation.

The other is as an individual.. for that just let me know and ill give you access to everything and add you to the list of contributors. In this case you arent under any obligation either, you can join in on conversationsn, suggest edits, or just lurk. Up to you. Message me if you want to be a contributor and ill add you and check out the repo here:

https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution

Any questions first feel free to ask me.

@gpowerf Just the right amount of guilt :)

They asked "We saw you havent been to the gym in a while, is everything ok, anything we can help with?"... my response was "Yea I'm fine, im just a very fat and lazy man" :)

Apparently if I havent been to the gym in more than 2 weeks they call you to ask why and see if everything is ok.... Not sure how I feel about this :)

@alecui

We added a very high penalty for hyphanation

@ufoi

@alecui

The formatting is Tufte style. The reason I picked the abstract to be full width is to bring it more attention and because there are no figures or notes needed in the margin there. Might make sense to have it be the same as the rest there, I agree.

Yea I agree with clicking on section 3 too, I think right now you can click on the 3 itself and get there.

We use latex and it can be done in latex too.

Which place holders do you mean?

By the way feel free to submit merge requests to fix anything your suggesting here. Its an open conversation

@ufoi

@tonic haha, well you are a member by virtue of the fact that you are a member of QOTO which is in the #UFoI

@tonic Do you run an instance, even a single user instance?
