I just attended a very inspiring #FnF23 session convened by @erikkemp on the topic of Fediverse governance. People from many countries, backgrounds and groups were present.
In my opinion, it's too early for creating governing bodies, and I'm not sure we will ever need them. What I find useful is covenants that instances can sign. E.g. digitalcourage.social signed the well-known Mastodon covenant <https://joinmastodon.org/covenant> as well as the #fedimins covenant <https://fedimins.net/en/covenant/> which is still a work in progress.
I 2nd this, but based on the comments on this and a few other duplicate issue threads, I don’t really see it happening. It seems like Gargon fells like it goes against a fundamental & philosophical definition of federation.
I can understand that, but it might be handy to have it as an admin tool (the admin announcement doesn't federate). I don't know if there is a separate issue for that?
@Gargron: as server admins we have an option to do server announcements, would it be possible to include a poll there as well?
