I am gathering a list of people who want to be involved in the discussion around the formation of a "United Federation of Instances" which is an attempt to combat the fracturing of the fediverse and the general spreading of misinformation WRT moderation decisions.

If anyone is interested in being a part of it let me know in the replies. I will add you to the list, share the draft proposal, and we can start discussions. I have several people already interested.

@freemo I do not meant to discourage you, but I believe that there have been multiple attempts on solving this issue, various covenants I think they were called.

Therefor my question is how this "United Federation of Instances" would be any different from prior works and how it would be successful in achieving it's goal.

@stevenclyman A very good question.. can you link me to previous efforts so I can review their approach and then I would be happy to tell you how/if we differ.

@stevenclyman My guess would be the big difference for us would be due process, democrattic process, and a no-defederating within the UFI policy... but again id need to see these other attempts to really say.

@freemo I believe this was it. :)

@stevenclyman So that seems more like a set of minimal rules you should follow for moderating your own instance... Very different from what I am proposing which is an actual federation of instances ...

I think you'd understand the differences best if i send you the draft. Would you be interested in joining the discussion and offering feedback?
