He's standing up to a cabal of folks who want to turn the Fediverse into their ideological echo chamber, and will try to ban anyone that contradicts them as polarizing.

Ooooh. Hab' ich verpasst. Gibt's davon eine Aufzeichnung?
@freemo Can you opt out of being called?
If so, cold calling once could be considered legit.
@AdrianBowyer
Without Kubrick, you would be correct.

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.
@freemo @ufoi
Problem:
The most creative (and therefore interesting) contributors have ideas that are considered unreasonable by the Moral Majority, however you define what a Moral Majority actually is.
I'd be interested in a federation of instances that promote the principle that no reader is entitled to protection from feeling righteously offended by others' contributions.
Then again, there _are_ lots of nutcases out there, and there _are_ lots of folks who just want to provoke others and _haven't_ read
Practice of parrhesia: Discourse & Truth, Problematization of Parrhesia - Six lectures given by Michel Foucault at the University of California at Berkeley, Oct-Nov. 1983
in particular:
https://foucault.info/parrhesia/foucault.DT4.praticeParrhesia.en/
»The main types of parrhesiastic practice utilized by the Cynics were:
(1) critical preaching;
(2) scandalous behavior; and
(3) what I shall call the “provocative dialogue.”«
A variant of Murphy's Law applies:
Any set of rules that can get triggered bring down the ban hammer on the innocent or mere bystanders, will.
See the example of Snow the Nazi, who knows this quite well.
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."

Yes, the B-17 is the Flying Fortress. I climbed into one or two on the ground, one in Chino, the other at Carlsbad or one of the San Diego airports.
There's a movie about B17s over Germany, "Memphis Belle":

@kjr @ufoi ,
as I don't know how to work @freemo 's Continuous Integration magic, I posted a frozen PDF copy of my branch into the gitlab
... with Computer Modern fonts that compile on my local computer:

Welp ... that's what Elon Musk is trying at twitter.
Time will tell how well that plays out, but in the meantime, we're trying to do things differently in the Fediverse, if I understand correctly what y'all are trying to do.

My immediate retort to "Veritas servimus" would be John 18:38.
If you REALLY want to find truth, you might want to culturally appropriate Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's Coat of Arms:

Looks like a good proposal.
In general, I'm not a friend of content restrictions
— in my not so humble opinion, the "intellectual house standard":
Creativity is combining facts no-one has connected before.
also applies to discursive context ("bubbles") in Social Media,
and there will always be _someone_ who chooses to take offense.
We can't let them ruin the creative exchange for everyone else.
Now that I have access to the gitlab, I put some thoughts/edits/references into my own tatzelbranch.
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/blob/tatzelbranch/proposal.pdf
Merge as you see fit ...
@freemo
ok, so far I can't push from my local repository.
Do I need to create a fork on gitlab to be able to send a merge request?
Should I create one branch per merge request or will one branch for several pull/merge requests suffice?
@freemo
ok, I cloned the repository,
got rid of the IBM plex font directives, and can edit locally.
What's the procedure to push contributions?
Clone??
On bitbucket???
github????
gitlab.com?????
