Idea for motto: Welcome to the nice web.

I'm a member of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, which does a tremendous amount of work on conservation and public lands advocacy. They have a couple of mottos that you could play around with:

"Keep public lands in public hands."

"Public land owner." (This is on their T-shirts. I'm a little iffy on that one because obviously it's all originally indigenous land, but it's direct and helps people identify as democratic citizens.)

I don't know if that's relevant, but if I understand correctly, New_Public is applying public square/sphere ideas to the internet. These ideas are old and powerful and have been fought for for centuries, beginning with the enclosures of the commons in the 1400s and before, or maybe even earlier than that. There's a lot to tap into with that history.
