United Federation of Instances was recently discussed on a russian podcast. I cant understand it myself but someone told me about it.
The UFoI is really taking off, and its been what, 2 or 3 days now! This is very exciting.
On the one hand, I am very encouraged that a group of instance administrators who aren't cultivating, as a German politician would put it, "mimosenhaftes Beledigtsein"
[mimosa-like hypersensitivity], are finding a collective voice and speaking up.
On the other hand,
I see a lot of energy for this initiative originating from a strong feeling of unfair censorship based on arbitrary and capricious rules
(it's a strong motivation to get involved here for #metoo),
but I see a tendency to try and define yet another set of rules, with the tendency to go too much into detail.
A translation of the Starfleet Prime Directive into a Categorical Imperative would be:
"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time prevent that your will, or anyone else's will, should become a universal law of the United Federation of Instances."

My use of #metoo has nothing to do with a widespread reference to a specific, quite popular, discursive context.
A strong motivation to get involved in this discussion that applies to me, too,
is that among all the readers in the context collapse of Social Media will misinterpret a simple "#metoo" as dog whistle for something quite out of context.
