I hold the philosophical position that if two things are indistinguishable, their difference is irrelevant.
"What if we live in a simulation?" -- irrelevant
"What if you couldn't tell the difference between taking to a computer and a real person?" -- irrelevant
But more precisely, it's begging the question to say "imagine something was indistinguishable, now how would you treat it differently???"

A month ago I became #NewOnMastodon, still learning, but liking it more and more here.
As an #EarthSystem scientist I am fascinated about the #CarbonCycle, especially in the #ocean and how we quantify it with Earth System #models in past, present, and future climates.
#ClimateChange is essentially a #CO2 problem. It is virtually impossible to be a #ClimateScientist without becoming deeply concerned about #ClimateEmergency.
Watch this space for my extended #IntroductionPost.

I am with you @f3ttt , if I find a troll, I block it. I too have never been subject to big attacks but may be my use is very limited or use case is different from those who have faced such harrasment and there must be good reasons for such actions.
I believe some thing are best left to the choice of individuals who are using the medium. Another good server you can find where they allow good sense and good science to thrive is qoto.org tagging
May want to try it out.

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a seal and a sea lion then HAVE I GOT THE CHART FOR YOU.
Since I'm trying to phase out tagging everyone individually, as it feels a bit scammy, but everyone asked to be kept in the loop... so here are some alternate "official" ways the conversation should continue:
1) On the official Gitlab repository, which is where all voting and formal discussions will take place
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
2) The group found here for mastodon discussions (just tag them instead of everyone): @ufoi
3) On matrix chat. #UFoI:matrix.org
And of sourse you are all welcome to contact me directly. I am very excited how there is so much talk about it and it hasnt even been released for 24 hours yet!

I wanted an instance
- in #english
- with reasonable and #openMinded rule set
- #LGBTQ+ friendly (even if I am not, but most of my #friends are)
- that did not block other #instances, at most muted but open
- with open minded #admins
- with extended functionalities
- #STEM oriented
I ended up with #qoto, pretty happy about it!
Have also considered:
- #Japan, #Linux, #art, #3D, #vfx, #FOSS, #FLOSS, #blender oriented ones.
At #today, would also consider their aderation at the #UnitedFederationOfInstances ( #UFI )
I know for a fact that @freemo might want to participate in the #conversation @thibaultamartin @matrix
So energizing to see all this activity after just a few hours of launching the United Federation of Instances repo.
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
We already have 7 discussions going on and 2 merge requests for the proposal... The more people keep getting involved the more energy I have to put more into it. Cant wait to finish a draft of the bylaws.
I am digging some of the conversation this United Federation of Instances is creating. Lots of great ideas so far, every last one.

I took a swing at it -
Partly b/c it seemed like it would create a minimum of two 'verses, one 'SFW', one 'NSFW'.
Partly b/c I thought of a gazillion other topics that ought be behind a CW.
Partly because I work with a global team and am really aware of my 'network privilege'.
Proposed 'TL;DR'
Boobs, Bombs, or Beans - __All__ multimedia goes behind a CW, and every user actively and affirmatively chooses to view it.

The contributors file is now up for everyone who has contributed to The United Federation of Instances so far. Anyone I missed let me know and I'll add you.
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.md
Another FYI. Since everyone here helped give feedback for the document I'd like to add you all to the list of people who contributed (its a contributors file)...Few things
1) If anyone who asked to be a contributor doesnt want their handle listed, just let me know, thats not a problem (do it privately in DM, not here to reduce spam).
2) I will just add everyones fediverse handle by default, but if you want I am happy to replace it with some combination of your name, handle, or email.
3) Everyone who contributes in any way is allowed to get their name in the list, so dont be shy to reach out.

# United Federation of Instances Proposal
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
I tagged below everyone who asked me to tag them. I have now started a gitlab group and project where we can discuss the #UFoI proposal transparently and with a good recorded history.
Please start discussions by creating issues, and any edits you have to the proposal please edit on gitlab and submit as a merge request, which can then be discussed.
I will write the CI code to make sure the document gets compiled.
I will try to leave the mass-message like here just to the major developments as it feels a bit spammy. I will only send out one more notification once the by laws draft is up. Of course if anyone does not want to get notified let me know and ill leave you off from future discussions.
