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!

No rush, polenty of work yet to be done. I started the bylaws (sneak preview here):

Welp ... that's what Elon Musk is trying at twitter.
Time will tell how well that plays out, but in the meantime, we're trying to do things differently in the Fediverse, if I understand correctly what y'all are trying to do.

I was thinking more along the lines of "mottos in general," referencing the Ghostbusters quote. I wasn't thinking of UFoI. :)
But when I think of mottos in general, this one does come to my mind.

My immediate retort to "Veritas servimus" would be John 18:38.
If you REALLY want to find truth, you might want to culturally appropriate Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's Coat of Arms:
