@khird Thank you for explaining that "copypasta" is a colloquialism for content that gets duplicated.

I worry that the words in the bulleted segments below are copypasta. What I was trying to do is to use the words of the Oxford dictionary to make my meaning clear and easy to grasp.

I wrote, "The Mastodon Covenant functions as an axiom defined by Eugen Rochko for the Mastodon federation and for each Mastodon instance, yes? In other words,

• "the Mastodon Covenant is "a statement or proposition on which an abstractly defined structure [of the federation of Mastodon 'instances'] is based."

• "the Mastodon Covenant is "a statement or proposition on which an abstractly defined structure [of each Mastodon 'instance'] is based."

• "the Mastodon Covenant is "a statement or proposition on which an abstractly defined structure [of QOTO.org] is based."

Three organizationally distinct entities are functionally the same in the unique context of words I copied from the Oxford dictionary. What I'm trying to do with this copypasta is clear, right?.
.
In the diagrams below, the relationships may be more easily described and understood, yes?
.
A. A and B are disjoint sets where
U = Mastodon Covenant
A = @QOTO.org
B = Any Mastodon instance other than @QOTO.org
.
B. B is a proper subset of A where
U = Mastodon Covenant
A = Mastodon federation of instances
B = @QOTO.org
.
QUESTION/AXIOM? The study of Mastodon federation, Mastodon instances and QOTO.org, including questions about QOTO arising from the Mastodon Covenant, is a STEM subject.

QOTO = Question Others to Teach Ourselves?

@chikara
Yes, discussions of the operation of the system, either at the individual instance, or at the large federated level are indeed Technological in nature, and right along Qoto's mandate.

:thumbsup_hmn_h2:

Don't know if you saw it, but I found a great article, an academic study indeed, about how smaller instances can provide better socializing for their members.

I thought you might enjoy reading it, it's very well done.
