While there are certainly some parallels, its its own thing, from scratch. It has a core set of ethics, and in that sense is similar... but it also has, more importantly, a due process, and membership process, and a garuntee members inside the UFoI federate.
So it is very much a different beast in other ways..
Well im starting to compile names for the seed servers for the UFoI and I'd be honored if either of you like to be a part... in the meantime if you are interested jump in on the conversation as we draft the bylaws and I start writing the webpage.
Somewhat, but takes it much futher... Me and several system and admins and users have been working on it past few days and it is drawing in a lot of interest...
Here you can read the proposal we have been working on:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
Check out the repo here to see discussions (under issues):
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/issues
See this post about getting in touch with the group in general.
@cee I have seen you on quite a few block lists, which is hilarious cause you are probably the nicest person I know on the fedi.
@favus congrats, looks like it is working.
The United Federation of Instances project already has close to 40 overall contibutors, 13 Merge Requests, 16 topics being disussed, and closed to 50 overall comments on topics.... The #UFoI is really taking off!
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.
