Great article from @dajb about governance on Mastodon servers. Like social.coop, Friend Camp has started using Loomio to make group consensus decisions around things like non-obvious defederation, and it's working out really well.

I recommend instance admins look into Loomio. Once we have used it a bit more on Friend Camp I am going to post a how-to and best practices for small servers.

@darius Thanks for sharing! Just listened to you on the Nerd Farmer podcast too; good food for thought as I start running my own instance.

@darius @dajb Consensus is the hard way to get things done in groups, but it's the right and ethical way to make decisions about defederation and overall instance policies.

Something like Loomio is great but even for small servers, it isn't cheap. I think that funding is going to drop off after the birb influx and for instances of more than 100 folks it's $75+ a month.

I do think something like this is a fantastic idea and I wonder if it's something that could be handled without a 3rd party resource.

Great thinking. It's definitely the direction we should be looking in, decisions on an instance by instance basis.

I read:

> 'To β€œkeep things the way they are” is always an option, never the default. Framing this option as a default position introduces a significant conservative bias β€” listing it as an option removes this bias and keeps a collective evolutionary.'

πŸ’™

For time immemorial, on bugzilla.mozilla.org, the Severity field had a default of 'normal,' and we could not differentiate (without a lot of work) what bugs had been intentionally set to 'normal'

This is important, thanks!

@darius Good! I hope it works out for you all. And, thank you, BTW. You and @dajb have just given me an idea for a proposal I’ll introduce on Loomio for social.coop.
