I don't want to talk about this, but I must.
UFoI has been floating around, purportedly to govern a shared code of conduct and ethics for instances.
From a cursory glance at the ethics they claim to represent, it looks good.
However, the particular instance that's captaining this whole thing is well known on Fediblock.
Many folks -- for good reason -- believe this is an attempt to compromise the effectiveness and integrity of Fediblock.
To a certain extent, it already has. 🧵
@atomicpoet Blocklists would be less of an issue if #Fediverse instances were small. The problem is blocking a large instance with thousands of people, for the bad posts by only a few. Yes, those few posts get through because of poor moderation by the SysAdmin, but it's easier to moderate a small instance than one with thousands of people.
So, fellow #Fedizens: If you have the chance, set up your own instance. Then YOU get to choose what's blocked and what's not.
@atomicpoet @bobjonkman @shelenn possible and reasonable, but not at all what’s happening, unfortunately.
