Please don'tt forget everyone in the UFoI or planning to be.. You have to post on your Terms of Service (rules) somewhere that you are in the UFoI and that the server adheres to its rules.

You are welcome to say this or put it wherever you want as long as it is clear to your users.

Basically make sure you include two things:

1) A reference to the fact that the instance is in the UFoI, with a link to the website: https://UFoI.org

2) A reference to the fact that it follows the Code of Ethics, preferably with a link to that: https://ufoi.org/docs/code-of-ethics

I just added this myself to QOTO, attached is a screenshot of the way I did it.

If anyone wants the html code to copy and paste into their ToS that I used it is here:

Finally if any of you new people in the thread want to use the profiles with verified profile links (the little green check mark next to links in bios) just reach out to me and I can show you how to set it up.

(PS not a hell thread, just taging people this is relevant to)

@ufoi

Its important to let everyone know I reworded the first "hate speech" clause of the code of ethics.. since this is critical please let me know if anyone objects to the new wording, I can always reverse it and put it up to a vote but I expect most people will be ok with it.

I’d like to understand the concerned parties that lead behind this decision? Is it users on instances or instance admins?

I think “other identity factor” is too open to interpretation. It technically allows those that would utilize hate speech rules in reverse. If that’s chopped off, it’s sufficient as a standard I think.

@Ryle

I agree with you here.. let me bring back the part from the original that says protected groups, but leave the rest of the wording.. would that be better?

@kravietz @ufoi @greg @t1c @SolSoCoG @dump_stack @gregory @joaopinheiro @evan @selea @jonnypencils@social.retrodon.net @steve @thatonecalculator @jens

@Ryle

How about this:

**No hate speech**, defined as any kind of communication in speech, writing or behaviour, that attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a protected characteristic, in other words, based on their age, disability, ethnicity, gender, pregnancy, religion, nationality, sex or sexuality.

the change was brought up byu an admin.
