Centralized? No its not centralized at all, it was built to be decentralized... instance admins still get to make their own moderation decisions, there is no punishment for not joining, coalitions are community run and self defined, and it isnt designed to need to be the only federation, it is open source with the intention of people forming sister federations..

It is very much a decentralized model.

Im not sure that characterization is correct... I am one of the oldest members of the fediverse, as is QOTO, both of us have been here 5 years.. its hardly that we have "just arrived"...

As for the fedi doing fine on its own... it hasnt.. it has been toxic and dividing for a long time, but until recently has been managable, recently the toxicity has went through the roof.

There is a reason the post about the UFoI on reddit has broken the all time record on that sub reddit with not just the most votes but with 90% up votes... people see the problem and its crippling.

@Renshaw01 I always assumed he was fed regular food that was steralized.. steralizing food at least is easy, we do it with can food all the time

But yea, your points are my own, would love some answers...

@shuttersparks it doesnt add up to me because I know that gut bacteria, out of blaance, can become dangerous (though that is rare)... so I dunno.

So I'm watching the 1976 "the boy in the plastic bubble" and it got me thinking.. there is a scene where he says hje doesnt take showers and doesnt smell because there are no germs...

So if people who are in sterile tooms all their life are truely germ free... that must mean all sorts of things... no BO, you never smell, do you even need to brush your teeth, you wouldnt get plaque or anything if there are no germs to consume the food on your teeth... Does it also mean they have no gut bacteria..

and aside from all those dise effects, which im curious about... how do you even steralize a human in the first place, even if they are born that way and go in from birth, surely your born with bacteria on you.. how do you steralize a human and if you cant how do they not die from this...

@lupyuen ahh, wasnt aware you were keeping an eye on that.. the stress cvomes from work too though.. but yea, thank you.

@lupyuen Thanks... im doing good in some ways.. but the stress right now is insurmountable. I am glad you are well though, for what its worth, you rock, always respected your disposition and posts, having you int he community has made me proud of this place, so thank you.

What if CatGPT is actually a human and WE are the AI trying to pass the turing test... the reason it looks like nonsense is because we failed the turing test!

When you wake up tomorrow you will realize the fediverse was all a dream and you will go back to posting on your myspace account.

@atomicpoet Good post, as a founder I want to point out a few things.

My personal motivation was to make sure that I was judged fairly, not in my favor.. I was hoping people hostile towards me would join the UFoI and judge me accordingly. All I wanted was the ability to demonstrate, and be listened to, that virtually all of their accusations were lies rooted in snows misinformation campaign and in each and ever case I had evidence to show the accusations were false.

To that end earlier today I stepped down as council member in UFoI. While I will continue to help with the software I have no power.

I also encourage the UFoI, once it finishes the last stage of launching to report QOTO and open any accusations to the general public, where I will have no power to "game" the system.

My intentiojn was always that if the evidence was all laid out from both sides that it would very clearly demonstrate that most of the lies about me hold no weight... I wanted a fair hearing, nothing more, nothing less.
