I was down for the count after a bad doctor appointment.

Yoel Roth, the former Head of Trust and Safety for Twitter, [shared his thoughts](https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/29/tech/yoel-roth-twitter-elon-musk) on Musk's handling of Twitter and the reasons for his departure while speaking at a Knight Foundation conference. He largely just confirms what we all know from following the debacle, though he does demonstrate a good practice for personal and professional life-- defining clear boundaries:

"Before Musk took over Twitter, Roth wrote down several commitments to himself that would trigger the decision to quit. One limit, he said — one that was never reached — was that Roth would refuse to lie for Musk. Another limit, one that was ultimately reached and drove his decision to resign, was 'if Twitter starts being ruled by dictatorial edict rather than by a policy.'"

#Boundaries, #Safety, #SocialMedia, #Technology, #Trust, #Twitter

Musk himself has:
- Spread Covid misinformation
- Called safety precautions “fascist”
- Forced his own workers back to work forcibly infecting hundreds of them
- Fired employees w/ Covid for taking sick days
- Cast doubt on vaccines
- Dismissed mass death of over a million people saying, “everybody dies” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/29/twitter-covid-misinformation-policy/ #covid #musk #twitter #twittermigration #journalist #technology #tech #technews

NOTE: If anyone wants to be added to this list just let me know.

Ok so this seems to be most of the people who publicly stated they had interest in developing the "United Federation of Instances". All of you should have gotten the first draft and opinions were heard and discussed.

Today I will be moving the first draft over to git (either git.qoto.org or gitlab.com). From there I will encourage each of you to provide suggestions as to edits there, and raise discussions in issues. This way we will be public and have an open transparent forum that keeps the changes on record.

While public feedback is being debated on the proposal I will begin a rough draft on the complete by laws (which will try to represent the broader points in the proposal document). That too will be on gitlab and open to discussion

From there as the movement grows we can begin discussing launching it.

I suggest all communication on the fediverse about this use the #UFI hashtag so it is easily searchable.

Since this is a public post I will now share the link to the early draft here, please keep in mind everything here is open for discussion so if anyone doesnt like the current direction, please speak up, we want you to be heard.
