Some point this year I tried to test the services queerit.org is offering including a Fediverse instance running on bonfire. This seems to be very buggy. My account there is @livho@social.queerit.org . When I log in into that account I can see most of my notifications I see here on my main account @livho . Basically all notifications with mentions of @livho regardless of the server. And the account mirrors parts of my main account as if it was sent by that account (Very visible from the public profile: https://social.queerit.org/@livho ). It also creates some other glitches where the account appears in the notifications of other people.

To me this sounds like a very bad bug that allows anyone to basically clone a profile of someone else and start interacting with followers of that profile.

Hey guys. Autonomic set up a Bonfire test instance for me. Now it's 404ed and they are not returning my emails. Do you know if they went belly up? I know you work with them sometimes. I was on your test instance for a while and wrote all the Bonfire articles on Manade. https://site.manade.org/notes If you could contact them, I would really appreciate it.

@hongminhee@hollo.social last week

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.

AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.

I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.

@hongminhee@hollo.social yeah that's exactly why I decided years ago to go "all in" on ActivityPub instead of scuttlebutt.nz which was in every other way a very cool technology and community.

Mi piacerebbe moltissimo tradurlo il lmo.

Fatemi sapere grazie 🙏🏻

Bonfire Social 1.0.5 is out! 🔥

Archipelago mode means instead of open federation (connect to everyone, then play whack-a-mole blocking bad actors), you can now choose to federate *only* with a hand-picked allow-list of trusted people or servers. Communities can link up into an "archipelago" of like-minded "islands" with shared rules, ideal for tight-knit groups, neighbourhoods, assemblies, co-ops, or orgs that want to connect with each other but not necessarily the whole internet.

We also added new admin throughput controls as our latest take on "calm empowerment": simple defaults first, curated overrides next, and full advanced control behind an explicit gesture. In practice, you can keep a busy instance responsive by picking a speed preset, prioritising certain kinds of activity, or fine-tuning each background task queue, no config files or restarts needed.

Also new in 1.0.5:

Faster search, now powered by Sonic
Broadcast announcements to everyone on your instance
Embeddable widgets: put your pinned posts on any website
PGP-encrypted system emails
Plus lots of improvements and fixes (federation, polls, media, accessibility, mobile)

Blog post and changelog: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

Bonfire Social 1.0.5: Archipelago!

1.0.5 introduces Archipelago mode: opt-in, allow-list federation for communities who want to choose exactly who they connect with, plus broadcast announcements, embeddable widgets, encrypted emails, faster search, and a lot of polish.

@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe not related to this, but I don't think I ever got an email for where to sign up for an install party as a part of the Indiegogo campaign. What are the deets for that?

@unsafelyhotboots@sharkey.world ah we sent some surveys out a while ago to gather peoples preferences, timezones, etc. We still need to start actually scheduling them but did you receive that?

Our next two #activitypub pull requests are ready for review:

adding a public key to our instance actor codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/... (note we use rsa for now as recomended in swicg.github.io/activitypub-..., but we will propably support more keys in the future)
adding an empty inbox with #httpsig verification codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/... #fedidev
