I just wrote a page that explains how, this will be a good chance to see if i did a good job writing it. Check out this and let me know if it makes sense:
What is the purpose of having individual members as well as instance admins?
The name implies the it’s the instances that are united (and not the users directly).
I think the idea that any user from a united instance can be elected is sound, but why should any individual potentially have a vote that weighs the same as an instance of thousands?
I dividuals outside the ufoi instances but members wouldnt get a vote. They simply pledge to the rules personally... its debatable if we want to support it at all but i figured it might be a way to gain more momentun and spread the word.
@freemo @ufoi yes please, I always want to be among the firsts 😜
