Wait does @Bonfire have the potential to grow into the open source, non-evil Facebook alternative I've been dreaming about? 🤔
@3TomatoesShort@disabled.social that's what we're betting on

📣 Kicking off a week of exciting news from Bonfire by bridging online and offline worlds:
✊️ Join us May 9th at Làbas - a self-managed social municipality in Bologna, Italy where we're facilitating a collaborative Bonfire workshop with #municipiozero and scift.
Together, we'll install a Bonfire instance and collectively configure extensions, community guidelines, and settings tailored to their specific needs 💅

🎉🔬 More news this weekend.
@sciety (eLife's preprint evaluation platform) has secured funding from @nlnet to build a Bonfire flavour for federating preprint reviews and discussions.
This means federated, community-governed spaces for open discourse around scientific preprints outside traditional publishing gatekeepers.

@jerrej This post is focusing on the "how" rather than "what" but here's our latest attempt to do that:

@giuseppegv not 100% sure, but don’t think so - we will ask :)

As we approach the release of Bonfire 1.0, this isn’t your typical launch announcement. Instead, it’s a moment to reflect on how we’ve built Bonfire, a roadmap of values, methods, and intentions – and an invitation to define what comes next.
In a world of “move fast and break things,” we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship...

Next stop: Brussels! 🌍
The Complex Anarchism Symposium will gather scientists, artists, activists & dreamers for a 5-day deep dive on organizing without hierarchy and embracing complexity.
A Bonfire instance will serve as digital commons — a self-organized space for discussion, coordination, proposals & reflection.
Excited for this collective experiment and to see what emerges. 🌱
🔗 Join remotely or in Brussels (May 19–23): https://clea.research.vub.be/complex-anarchism-symposium-19-23-may-2025-in-brussels

@Ember@welshpixie Sorry! It's our anti-spam detector that we've been testing recently that is way too aggressive (and bugged). We've now disabled the federation - thanks for the report 🙂

@strypey@8petros And it should go without saying, we put in a lot of effort and thinking so that every feature we build is not app-specific but can interoperate with the rest of the fediverse, whether other apps have an equivalent feature or not. For aspects for example, each topic could be represented by a separate ActivityPub actor (which would boost relevant activities from your main profile) that people could then follow from any fediverse instance or app.

@strypey Thanks for the tag! We've indeed been thinking about this for a while, and while we have several kinda related features (circles, topics, and multiple users per account), we'd like to build something that more directly addresses the need @8petros is expressing. We have an issue about it and this thread has triggered some more thinking about how we could implement it there: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/646
