All of those examples are explicitly against the rules and we explicitly state as such.

@Darkayne

The United Federation of Instances project already has close to 40 overall contibutors, 13 Merge Requests, 16 topics being disussed, and closed to 50 overall comments on topics.... The #UFoI is really taking off!

LOL apparently now they call it "harassment" to call someone out on lying and suppressing evidence on a block list... Can't even make this shit up.

This weekend I will be working more on the "United Federation of Instances"

First thing I want to do is go through all the issues in the repo and try to comment or add my opinion on them.

Feel free to get in on the conversation here, its open to everyone.

https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/issues

Next I will work more on finishing the full bylaws, and try to incorperate any new perspectives from the discussions in the issues (eventually we can vote on the final wording).

Anyone interested in seeing the progress on that (the first draft isnt done) you can check that out here:

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

Of course you can see the original proposal document (which is the easier read and sumarizes the bylaws) here:

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

If anyone wants to contribute just join the first link I mentioned and feel free to offer merge requests. Also if anyone wants to help work on things like a website for us please speak up.

As always if you want to get into the conversation there are two ways other than the gitlab.

The first is fediverse groups: @ufoi

The other is our matrix chat room: #UFoI:matrix.org

Hope to see you all there.

I tagged below everyone who asked me to tag them. I have now started a gitlab group and project where we can discuss the #UFoI proposal transparently and with a good recorded history.

Please start discussions by creating issues, and any edits you have to the proposal please edit on gitlab and submit as a merge request, which can then be discussed.

I will write the CI code to make sure the document gets compiled.

I will try to leave the mass-message like here just to the major developments as it feels a bit spammy. I will only send out one more notification once the by laws draft is up. Of course if anyone does not want to get notified let me know and ill leave you off from future discussions.

Just FYI, I now set it up so any changed to the document at the link in my last post, once accepted, will automatically compile to a PDF and update teh version hosted here automatically.

So you can follow this link if you want to see the latest version of the document at any time:

As of the moment it appears 111 **known** instances have defederated to some degree from Mastodon.social. Most likely unknown instance count is much higher.

People are claiming this is a result on the article I wrote, which largely cited facts with photo evidence and effectively accused Eugen of caving to a Nazi's agenda.

I do **not** want to see anyone defederating from mastodon.social. However, my article presented the facts, made no suggestion to anyone to defederate. If those those facts cause people to get mad with Eugen and defederate, so be it, thats his fault for not being a better person, for not having a discussion about his decisions. I wont take blame simply for exposing truths, the reprocusions are on him not me.

The irony is what is happening to him is the same thing happening to me as explained in that article. The difference is what is happening to me is largely fueled by lies which Ive disproven. Cant say the same about Eugen

Anyway, I do hope all of you will stop defederating and start talking. I'd much rather see people try to talk to Eugen and tell him why he is wrong and get him to be better than anything else. Perhaps stand up to the misinformation you hear as well and do some fact checking so #QOTO doesnt get wrongly accused of lies while your at it.

#mastoadmin #fediblock #Eugen

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

Thanks for maintaining it until now. It has been one of my favorite features. It would be nice if there was a way to automate it so it doesnt require someone to manually update it (assign random colors and such)

@obi @weepjp @khird @trinsec

@weepjp Any idea whats going on with the instance ticker... A few days ago it suddenly disappeared from QOTO...

@obi @khird @trinsec

Hell yea the middle east is about to wage a jihad against my stomach, and i hope it wins!

@Coyote

Probably would help if next time you dont lead in with that hydrochloride stupidity. Yea there are legitimate concerns with the vaccines as they were rushed past the usual safety checks. But your other comments destroyed your credibility.

@madmike

@akeno

Scummo could have all the evidence in the world and not be able to collect. Anyone who pulls the conspiracy theory bullshit that covid doesnt exist and hasnt been proven to exist doesnt know the first thing about the science of any of it.

@madmike @Coyote

@akeno

Again citing links of other people who are idiots and beleive the same thing of you does not make the nonsense you believe suddenly true.

@Moon @madmike @Coyote

@noellabo

Wonderful, thank you.

DASSAI is in fact one of the ones that just arrived today and I was drinking it earlier (specifically their DESSAI 45). It is amazing, I am glad I made a good choice!

If your curious I attached images of the three Sake bottles I bought today.

@noellabo

@noellabo

I will order a bottle of Kubota today and add it to the lineup. Thanks so much for the suggestions.

@noellabo

@noellabo

One last noob question for you... Do japanese drink some sake warm.. its commonly served that way in america but I'm not sure if thats just American ignorance at play or not. The bottles I got mostly say to serve chilled.
