Alter Account von Anne RothSo my bubble here starts thinking about governance, decision making and accountability in Mastodon.
I'm sure we're not the only ones. What else is out there? Who's talking / thinking / writing about this?

talking✅
(with others from @BitsUndBaeumeDresden)
thinking✅
(topic is important and might even serve as a blueprint for other communities)
writing⏳
(... only started a pad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/fediverse-constitution-brainstorming)
Also: Kind of funny that you are bringing the governance topic up because some days ago @malteengeler nominated you as the "queen of mastodon" and I already asked you to convene #constitution|al council, see https://social.tchncs.de/web/@cark/109268622701327889 😉
I just found a new issue that should be part of the discussion on #fediverse #governance:
https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/109311187050279476
Their seem to be two contradicting positions:
"Would be immensely useful to find valuable information" vs. "Would be the perfect target-finder for trolls"
I think there are (technical) solutions for this, e.g. a optin-hashtag for indexing. But they need to be coordinated. → #constitution

@leakix I am doing this publicly so I can take whatever heat I deserve for this. Perhaps I didn’t have the foresight to add a narrow rule disallowing accounts for projects that are indexing the fediverse/providing fediverse search abilities. I own that. I am, unfortunately, going to have to ask you to find a different instance to host on. I expect you’ll find that this a wildly unpopular project across the fediverse. It pains me, because at some level, I think it’s a useful and missing function, however it’s antithetical the values of the fediverse. Thanks for your understanding, Jerry
