Personally I'm happy wth the current logo for launch. That said my plan was once a bunch of logos are in and once we have the voting infrastructure up then we will vote to see what logo the community likes best. Seems a nice safe thing to test voting on.
@34a3cff1fb40 Yea there certainly was an account there at one point.
@voidabyss on the advanced interface the notifications just show up at the top of the column instead.
@alecui the website is up at https://UFoI.org
I dividuals outside the ufoi instances but members wouldnt get a vote. They simply pledge to the rules personally... its debatable if we want to support it at all but i figured it might be a way to gain more momentun and spread the word.
@m1k3 Lots of good ones floating around yea.
@m1k3 Nice, that would rock.. once we get a voting system going id like to have the community pick what they like best from all the choices.
@m1k3 I added it here:
@m1k3 That is nice... though will it work on a black background? I guess an inverted version could.
@m1k3 Thanks, yea it kinda looks like it could be a lowercase l....

Please don'tt forget everyone in the UFoI or planning to be.. You have to post on your Terms of Service (rules) somewhere that you are in the UFoI and that the server adheres to its rules.
You are welcome to say this or put it wherever you want as long as it is clear to your users.
Basically make sure you include two things:
1) A reference to the fact that the instance is in the UFoI, with a link to the website: https://UFoI.org
2) A reference to the fact that it follows the Code of Ethics, preferably with a link to that: https://ufoi.org/docs/code-of-ethics
I just added this myself to QOTO, attached is a screenshot of the way I did it.
If anyone wants the html code to copy and paste into their ToS that I used it is here:
Finally if any of you new people in the thread want to use the profiles with verified profile links (the little green check mark next to links in bios) just reach out to me and I can show you how to set it up.
(PS not a hell thread, just taging people this is relevant to)

@couts There is good and bad to that... The good is that if an instance admin wants to eliminate news outlets that dont have journalistic amd effectively hold news outlets accountable.
On the other hand tthe bad is that instance admins can choose what news outlets to allow and thus curate a narritive/propaganda by only allowing the news outlets that fit their opinions, rather than based on which ones have integrity.
@couts I agree with this... but they may want journalist specific instances for reasons other than verification.
