Since I'm trying to phase out tagging everyone individually, as it feels a bit scammy, but everyone asked to be kept in the loop... so here are some alternate "official" ways the conversation should continue:
1) On the official Gitlab repository, which is where all voting and formal discussions will take place
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
2) The group found here for mastodon discussions (just tag them instead of everyone): @ufoi
3) On matrix chat. #UFoI:matrix.org
And of sourse you are all welcome to contact me directly. I am very excited how there is so much talk about it and it hasnt even been released for 24 hours yet!

@freemo I believe you intended "spammy" rather than "scammy", but yeah... I'll put a follow on @ufio and #UFoI tag "just in case." I'll also check out the Matrix Chat, but at this point I'll have to consider it a part of "yak shaving."
For those unaware of the idiom, "Yak shaving refers to a task, that leads you to perform another related task and so on, and so on β all distracting you from your original goal."
My ORIGINAL goal is "I'd like to micro-blog chat with people over the issues of the day and socialize, like the best of what Twitter could be, only without Twitter.
#UFoI seems to be an insurance policy on keeping Mastodon on that track, but as such is "a related task to the goal." Then Matrix is ... "a related task to a related task..."

@freemo https://a.gup.pe/u/ufoi shows a goldfish, likely a default page, likely could use a bit of dress-up.
