The big difference with the UFoI is we dont deal in block lists, we deal with an allow list.. So its about creating communities not splitting them.

@freemo @ufoi I'm extremely new here but if one of the oft-repeated criticisms of what seems to be some kind of network of admins with a shared strategy of cooperative moderation that has gradually become quite large and influential (the name of which that I haven't yet clearly been able to identify - fedifence? fediblock?) is that it creates a walled garden and as such is anathema to the free and open principles of the fediverse, proposing a competing system of large coordinated cooperative moderation strategy but it's better because it's run how i like it not how they like it will likely result in an outcome that is not appreciably different.
If thats taken at face value then we should all vote for him to stay in control, Let it burn

It's like there's a tweet for everything he does. I love this.
@sehe The acceptance into the UFoI will be transparent, transparency is key. If you think the system is gamed you can see it and it will be in the open. So you will be able to judge that yourself.
We also encourage other federations to form and federations will either endorse enachother or not.
The group of people who are trying to divide the fediverse seem to have reached a new low.. They have a tool that lists how many instances block a particular instance, but it is highly manipulative.
For starters it is hand curated.. so they exclude blocks against their own instances and only includes instances they actually dislike.
Worse yet they curate a list ordered by "most blocked".. problem is they use the number of instances that block. They game the system by having large number of single-user instances. So instances in the top 50 may only be blocked by a few hundred people but still appear as if the blocks are significant....
This is why we need transparency, its why we need the https://UFoI.org
Its also important to note we are **not** in the 50 most blocked instances. The list she is refering to counts it based on the number of instances that block us. 99% of instances that block us are single-user instances.. They gamed the system to make it look like we are more blocked than we actually are.

I came across a math puzzle here in the fediverse, and puzzled about it for a while. (Lost the link to the original post; if it's yours let me know.)
Here's the problem:
```
Bob was given 30 distinct natural numbers. He wrote down all the 435 pairwise sums. It appears that among those sums, 230 are divisible by 3. How many of the original 30 numbers are divisible by 3?
```
I was able to find the answer after playing with it for a bit. Then I made this cool visualization. (It's a spoiler, of course.)
That instance blocks almost the tentire fediverse.. even instances it doesnt block are likely to be blocked soon (I think they are moving to whitelist blocking)
@mur2501 No, I dont see that... hmmm
@mur2501 hmm working for me....
