quick summary: we are a group of folks, mostly from Cohost, building a federated island network (allowlist only), separate from the Fediverse. AFAICT, our project's the first large-scale attempt at this. Governance is by consensus, which is working pretty well.
Right now we've got forks of Akkoma and GTS, and devs working on a Cohost-like frontend and a central management system for things like allowlists. Our goal is to bring Cohost's positive characteristics to a federated environment.

we are open to more software than those two platforms, but (excepting special cases like WriteFreely) it must comply with the characteristics needed for our goals: no network-wide/global feeds, no visible metrics, no algorithms except reverse chronological, allowlist federation support, and functional interoperation with existing software.

We're encouraging small instances to spread out moderation and administration workloads. Every instance must abide by a centralized set of rules, which we are working on finalizing. Any conflicts will be worked out via our governance process; defederation and inter-instance warfare are some of the primary things we'd like to avoid.
Our ultimate goal is to build a nice system of websites to post on: one that's resilient, healthy to use, and inclusive for everyone.
