title: Mastodon Federation Governance Vote
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A governance practice in the Mastodon fediverse community where instance
|
|
members vote on policies, codes of conduct, and moderation decisions,
|
|
often through structured discussion on the instance's local timeline or
|
|
governance channel. Reflecting the federated, cooperative ethos of the
|
|
Mastodon project founded by Eugen Rochko.

|
steps:
|
|
- headline: Post the proposal publicly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The instance administrator or a member posts a proposal — a policy
|
|
change, a moderation rule, a federation decision — on the instance's
|
|
governance channel, with a clear question and a discussion period.
|
|
- headline: Discuss openly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Members discuss the proposal on the channel for a set period (often a
|
|
week). Discussion is visible to all members, not held in private
|
|
backchannels.
|
|
- headline: Vote
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After discussion, a vote is held — often a simple poll with
|
|
agree/disagree/abstain. The threshold for adoption is set in
|
|
advance and visible.
|
|
- headline: Implement and record
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The administrator implements the decision and records it in the
|
|
instance's public governance record, with the vote tally noted.
|
|
- headline: Federate the outcome
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Where the decision affects federation (blocking or allowing other
|
|
instances), the outcome is communicated so other instance admins can
|
|
take note.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Instance policies are decided with member input, recorded publicly, and
|
|
communicated to the wider federation.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Discussion before voting, not after, is the discipline. A vote without
|
|
prior discussion is a stamp, not a decision. Record the tally —
|
|
transparency builds trust in federated spaces. |
