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.

- getting the wording of point 1 of the coc absolutely water-tight is critical. it was fine in the previous qoto tos, but when you apply it to a broader scale that a federation of servers is "Hate-based racism, sexism, and other hateful speech,[...]" isn't going to cut it. everything can be hateful speech with enough twisting. ideally it would be something like from hacker ethics: "Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.". then, meritocracy has fallen from grace.
- put down what the expected response time for moderation is. people sleep, have other things to do, etc. you can't always have a moderation in place after an hour.

@Ryle Thank you. I missed seeing this before I posted a suggestion about it, but I was intent I not lose the thought I had at that moment. My current situation has me hella distracted to where I'm setting alarms for myself so I don't miss going to the loo when I need to.
I'll jump in there once I've shed my work funk off.
It is a silly word. Hate speech had a very clear legal definition, but it has since been used for political benefit by those controlling a narrative. They use genocide selectively, too. The same as ‘war crime’. Others are ‘hate crime’ or ‘gender based violence’. They are useful if a definition is agreed upon, but that never happens.
What is the desperate need for a code and censorship, anyway? We all behave differently. We have different things we hate to hear. That’s why we can choose with whom we associate. Pretending we all agree that words are harmful, then continuing to reach some code as to what can be said and how, must have some other motive.
Apparently, the same reasons that cause freedom loving people to throw Assange under the bus, is what drives this appeasing fascists bull. Who would have guessed. It’s all about doing business
