Thankyou. I will update the document with the new wording... I will add you as a contributor since this is coming from you, thanks.
The big issue i see with this is if it is self-selected then people can easily use that to game the system and say they have certain characteristics they dont really have.

Yea I am leaning towards this one now: https://qoto.org/@freemo/109445585124415443
Check it out, get involved, it is starting to get a lot of momentum:
@otso @Amikke @EubieDrew @skanman No the #UFoI is a social construct and open to everyone on the Fediverse.
The simple logo does look nice on the documents too:

LOL yea right now its my favorite again... I was into Skanman's until I saw UFoot :)
I agree, it does suck. I love the idea of a LGBT space for tech people. Several people on that server asked David about it or asked him to reconsider. David has mostly suspended them from his server on sight, it is really sad.
Off on a tangent
ITs a shame people just listen for "dogwhistles" rather than bothering to understanding what someone might mean on a case by case basis and generalizing at all....

I'm not saying they **can't** learn about it.. im saying they are in a position where it becomes much harder to learn about, partly for technological reasons (blocking) and partly for social reasons (peer pressure and threat of being suspended if you even ask).
@derickflorian @toxomat @ceoln @PaulaToThePeople @SecondJon @shelenn
The problerm is they **cant** learn about it, not easily... They are on a server where all dissenting voices are silenced, so they will never heard about it on network.
They could look at the block list, but since they are blatantly lieing about the evidence they will again be unable to discern the truth.
These people go out of their way to engineer it so their lies are the only thing anyone hears.. if you even try to discuss it or look into it you get attacked.
