   @randrews Definitely not worth the effort. Honestly I was rather surprised I couldn't find any (mainstream) "bots welcome" instances—ideally that allow programmatic account management instead of the *incredibly* tedious hundred-private-tab workflow I've used to tweak account settings—when I first set these up.

   As it stands, my disappointment in Mastodon as a whole (exemplified by the first reply to this announcement) doesn't leave me with much motivation to bother with an instance migration.

   Daily inspiration: "The difference between good & great companies isn't when they innovate, but that they never stop!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Over the years, I've had several companies come to me, seeking a speaker for a leadership or annual conference, stating that their 'theme this year is innovation.'

   I tried hard not to crack up.

   As in, you only do this once?

   You are going to 'do' innovation and then move on to the next thing?
   Shouldn't you be innovative all the time?

   I've always been sure that their intentions are good, and in most cases, it has been - they are in an innovative mind space and are always prepared to explore their opportunities through creativity.

   But there have been many others for whom innovation seems to have been a 'one-time thing,' an afterthought, an item to address on a checklist before moving on to the next leadership buzz thing.

   Um, OK.

   The reality is this: innovation isn't an annual event - it's the daily heartbeat of progress that keeps organizations alive. When you schedule innovation for a conference as a one-time topic, you've already missed the point. True innovation lives in every moment of every day. And in fact, the most dangerous words in business aren't 'We're failing,' but 'We'll innovate next quarter.' Innovation isn't a theme - it's the very air successful organizations breathe. The fact is, if you have to declare an innovation season, you're already living in the depths of a pretty brutal leadership winter.

   The difference between average companies and great companies is that tomorrow's leaders don't schedule creativity or innovation  - they cultivate it in every conversation, decision, and moment.

   The companies that survive don't ask when to innovate - they ask why they ever stopped!

   ...#CarIndustry, which had been lying about real NOx and other #GreenhouseGasEmissions (#GGE) for decades to develop an upgrade kit for each and every car they sold that does not meet environmental standards in real-life use. It was mass fraud, so they should be made to pay up.

   As there were no regulations nor government subsidies, as there had been in the 1980's for #CatalyticConverters, upgrade companies either shelved many of their developments or went bust.//

   "crockery, pots, pans and cutlery etc in the sink when it's dirty from food" this actually has a name in Norwegian: "oppvask", literary "upwash", aka the things you wash up.

   As for the distinction between what you use for washing up by hand vs machine we use the brand name "zalo" as a catch-all for washing-up-liquid.

   This weekend I will be working more on the "United Federation of Instances"

   First thing I want to do is go through all the issues in the repo and try to comment or add my opinion on them.

   Feel free to get in on the conversation here, its open to everyone.

   https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/issues

   Next I will work more on finishing the full bylaws, and try to incorperate any new perspectives from the discussions in the issues (eventually we can vote on the final wording).

   Anyone interested in seeing the progress on that (the first draft isnt done) you can check that out here:

   https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf

   Of course you can see the original proposal document (which is the easier read and sumarizes the bylaws) here:

   https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf

   If anyone wants to contribute just join the first link I mentioned and feel free to offer merge requests. Also if anyone wants to help work on things like a website for us please speak up.

   As always if you want to get into the conversation there are two ways other than the gitlab.

   The first is fediverse groups: @ufoi

   The other is our matrix chat room: #UFoI:matrix.org

   Hope to see you all there.
