🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@social.cleverlibre.org

Just a reminder, as I get this a lot, but joining the United Federation of Instances doesnt require **any** time contribution of the part of its admins or instances. Any voting is totally optional to participate. As long as your instance follows our code of ethics you can join, nothing else required other than to federate to other UFoI instance.

DM me if you want to talk more, are are at over 200,000 members and will be open to more over the next week or so before membership will become harder and more formalized.

all intances welcome, from single user to large instances.

#UFI #UFoI @ufoi

If anyone wants to help on the United Federation of Instances website let me know.

I have a first working version done. But welcome any improvements (including to layout) as well as some help filling in some of the documentation.

There is also some room for scripts to help make the whole thing work, we can talk if anyone wants to help there.

Anyone, anyone interested in helping let me know. I will send a link to the current website in private at request, I just dont want to share it with the world until its more complete.

There are 2 ways to sign up to the United Federation of Instances, for those wondering.

We have over 200,000 members but looking for more before launch.

One, and the most important, is as an instance admin bringing your instance onto the UFoI. For this you dont need to do anything other than ensure you follow our basic code of conduct. See the proposal/by laws for that:

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf

Other than that you dont have to do anything to be a member, and you can be a one person instance or a large instance. You do need to promise to federate with other instances in the UFoI. Also you can leave at any time, no questions asked, so not much obligation.

The other is as an individual.. for that just let me know and ill give you access to everything and add you to the list of contributors. In this case you arent under any obligation either, you can join in on conversationsn, suggest edits, or just lurk. Up to you. Message me if you want to be a contributor and ill add you and check out the repo here:

https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution

Any questions first feel free to ask me.

Apparently if I havent been to the gym in more than 2 weeks they call you to ask why and see if everything is ok.... Not sure how I feel about this :)

United Federation of Instances now has hundreds of thousands of users! We had a few more join last night.

DM me if you want to join, be a founding member. Joining will be a much harder process once we launch in about a week.

#UFoI @ufoi #UFI #Mastoadmin

Reminder: If anyone from any instance, large or small, wants to be added as a founding member of the United Federation of Instances please send me a private message. Happy to add anyone who adheres to the code of ethics.

You can always leave any time.

We have close to 200,000 members right now.

@dump_stack Hi. I'm trying to see what admins might be interested in being founding members of the UFoI (see attached link). Someone mentioned you might be interested? You can back out at any time, so no obligation if things go south. We just need to define who will be the founding members (we have a few already).

I am now compiling a list of all servers who may have an interest in joining the United Federation of Instances.

Quite a few instances have already signed up.

Please reach out to me, all servers of any size are welcome!

This is non binding, its just to get a preliminary list. You can withdrawl at any time and dont have to go through the application process. I just want to know what servers to reach out to once we begin kicking things off.

If you are a server admin please let me know **in DM** if you have an interest and I will add you to the (for now) private list. I want to only release the list once we have enough momentum so please respond in DM only.

for those who are new to this you can read the proposal here:

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf

You can read the early draft of the full bylaws here:

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf

Both of these will still undergo a lot of modification. For information on how to join the conversation see this post:

https://qoto.org/@freemo/109433298021890915

You can see the progress and conversation specifically at the official repo here:
