Meta, Fediverse admins beware
@josh You are refering to a **draft** copy... we already decided that month long process should be cut down significantly and will be.
And instances can be silenced freely so that is sufficient for the case to go due process. You have to remember they need to be vetted and go through the same rigerous process to get in in the first place. So if they already have a proven track record of acting as good-actors then the least they should get is the chance to explain what happened.
@tulpa What is your joke name? I came up with the name, so independent.

@Ryle No one care about their dumb blocklist. If they want to isolate their self out of the #fediverse so be it.
A better alterative is the #UFoI
This makes me super sad to hear that people are bullying for essentially saying you agree to a no hate speech rule and to defederate based on evidence.
I think the fact that they are bullying you and others like this is the **exact** reason we need UFoI in the first place. Together we can grow and oppose these sorts of patterns, alone they can pick us off one by one.
On a seperate noteI did hide the list of UFoI members, so it should prevent harassment. The list will go live once the bylaws and reporting and voting system are up, so should provide us time to accumulate critical mass before they star miss behaving.. then if they want to ban 50 servers all at once they will just hurt themselves anyway.
No one will even know who withdrew and who didnt so they wont have a clue who to target moving forward.

@Darkayne @realcaseyrollins just because a group of people willingly come together in one place to Collab willingly, and publish a list people can use in whole, or in part, willingly, doesn't make it centralized.
That is distributed decision making.
@realcaseyrollins yep, when a bunch of bullies drunk with power, fueld by gossip, are bullying people and refusing good systems to grow this is what you get...
You need to wonder, why is it when i keep seeing polls the support is overwhelmingly in UFoI favor. The reddit post is 700+ up votes, 87% positive, and the highest ever recorded post in that sub reddit. Yet when people speak you mostly hear the bad... why? Because even with huge support everyone is too scared to speak because they will jsut get bulled like T1C did... its disgusting.

#StopVoringMe joining #UFOI, slandering @freemo, getting #UFOI on #Fediblock, leaving #UFOI and then getting mad that his instance is on #Fediblock despite no evidence of any activity worthy of being included on the list is exactly why freemo made #UFOI in the first place.
The #UFOI is certainly not the best system in the world, but the idea is great. Unfortunately, creating a good-faith system to compete with a bad-faith system is gonna be hard when the bad-faith system is incredibly popular and already notorious for ostracizing anything that disagrees with or contradicts it.
To prove that i have no nefarious intent personally... all i want is a fair shake and to ensure others get the same (As you point out, protect against nazi's like snow)... I stepped down as the council member.. So I have no position of power of any kind... though i will continue to invest time to build it... people will continue their attacks.
No one bothers tohear my side though.. everyone blocked no one listed.. i hear people talking about how QOTO is a hot bed for right wing this or that, and hidden hate speech... yet these are the kinda of things our LGBTQ community here actually say (and what anyone would say if they took the time to look):

It’s strange to see so many folks on the #Fediblock side siding with the #Nazi snow when everybody outside of #Fediblock knew full well that he was a #Nazi and most of us never liked him
The more aggressive these people get over something that is in no way attacking anyone or evil the more convinced I am of its neccesity.
I tthink he was being silly about that.. go check out the merge, most people liked the wording. if you object we can always reverse it.
I got too good at avoiding humans and so I forgot how much they sucked.
Yes you are rright of course, at leastt online.. Ironically I am known for my mediating skills in person, they just dont translate to online apparently.
I'm ok with that, its why I stepped down and am happy to help on technical stuff.
No I agree with you, thats why i stepped down and handed it over to someone else but will happily continue to help develop it... looks rumous about me are bullshit, but either way they are still used as ammo, which makes me not the right person.

@satan
'forces'? You can leave anytime with no strings attached, not sure what's so forced about it?
Also I think most people look at this from the wrong perspective. It's more a guarantee that UFoI members aren't blocking each other, guaranteeing that there's at least a piece of the Fediverse communicating with each other. If you don't wish to partake in this, just don't join.
I think this is a more positive approach than shouting 'FEDIBLOCK! FEDIBLOCK!'
