Pretty much what Ryle said. UFoI is mostly concerned with instances, individual members are handled by the instance admins. We just expect instances to moderate with our code of ethics in mind.
The only way duplicate users is an issue is when it comes to voting rights. For now we are just using gitlab accounts to act as a proxy for voting with the assumption its hard to have a bunch of different gitlab account. In the future I think the solution will use PGP keys and keyoxide.
The working prototype right now works for admins only, yes.. but i will be adding something similar for users. The idea is every registered user will have a little page on the website that will have a "card" of their details (their status, whether they are an admin, on the counsel, just a user, etc)... so it will work for regular users soon.
@freeschool I will try when i get home.
@Ryle @ufoi The current prototype is for "instance member representatives".. basically the admins of instance members.
I plan to also have a verified link for regular everyday members, specifically "registered members" (members who opt-in and likely coincides with their authorization to vote). In that case I will create a page per user that will be autogenerated when the webpage deploys
Yea the UFoI is intended to be a mostly social construct. There is some technology to facilitate voting and providing verification of who is or is not in the UFI. But overall its almost entirely social in nature.
You can see an early preview of our website here: http://UFoI.org
Yes I will fix that, thanks. Feel free to do a merge request if you'd like the credit.

@tonic Mostly, now that the employees are back at work its hard to do it when at work, but i try to keep the carbs low and supplemented it with exercise at lunch at the gym which me and my fellow employees are doing
@bibliolater no problem
@bibliolater it just means our search has never seen any content come from that account before... no one from here has ever interacted with them.
@bibliolater They only have 5 users, its unlikely they have us blocked, its more likely we just dont have any record of them
@bibliolater What instance? Not usually
@christiankothe It is great to have you! If you have any questions or need any help hit me up anytime.
@lavenderlens haha, glad its working. I approced your membership. Go ahead and start off by creating a merge request to add yourself as a contributor.
We have to go at 1-2pm just to get a lane.. normally it is shoulder to shoulder... even at 2 pm today it had a good number of people.
In ISrael atleast no one considers COVID as even a worry anymore...
