Yeah the server stores the JSON for any objects that aren't implemented by any extension enabled on the instance, but also display those in feeds and threads, with a best effort to generate a preview based on looking for common metadata properties, so they can still be flagged and displayed in moderation queues.

@gaetan@mediapart.social l'integration avec ghost n'est qu'un exemple, l'important c'est la flexibilité et notre approach de co-design pour construire quelque chose d'unique avec chaque communautée, plutot que d'offrire un seule plateforme pour tout le monde

Coming to the Open Source Conference in Luxembourg today? @oscl@mastodon.opencloud.lu 🇱🇺

Come say hi! At 15:30 we'll talk about digital sovereignty, why it's more than a server, what is the ecosystem we're building towards and keep asking ourselves: where's Franca? 🔥

So, I want to set general expectations before kicking things off officially.

Yes, We Distribute is launching a #Bonfire community and will be collaborating with the devs to build a unique flavor of it. We're still in the process of getting the basics set up, so please...be gentle.

I still have a few chores to do before pulling some levers and migrating our old Akkoma accounts over, but I'm really excited! We've wanted to do Bonfire for a long time!

Belgian journalism cooperative Apache is going to be testing Bonfire as a space for its readers, inspired by #Jacobin work in Germany.
Independent media building community spaces where readers and journalists can meet, participate, and connect across the fediverse. This is the kind of social web we want to support.
Their ongoing diary of leaving big tech is worth a read (in Dutch): apache.be/vaarwel-big-tech

Experimenteren met sociale media kan ook zonder Amerikaanse technologie, Mediahuis (#Hyves).

Met Apache willen we binnenkort de mogelijkheden van @Bonfire uittesten. Spannend!

@tommi@pan.rent @texttheater@mastodon.social Indeed, boundaries in bonfire differentiate between something being discoverable vs readable, allowing for "unlisted" content that can only be viewed by certain people and on the other hand "previewable" content that can be seen in feeds but not fully read. This is currently mostly low-level functionality so we'd be happy to co-design the UX with people who need these features and can also help test if/how they interoperate with other federated apps and how we can mitigate leaks...

Currently working on a #FEP called "Concept Relationships of ActivityPub objects for Federated Classification".

Probably there will be a first internal review amongst @lauti, @Bonfire and @mobilizon before the first draft is submitted to the FEP repository.

We Distribute is working with @Bonfire to build something new for the Social Web! It's no secret that we're big fans of what @mayel and @ivan have developed, and we want to explore creating something really special.

More details soon!

@lebout2canap@mastodon.tedomum.net fixed, thanks! @gardian@social.manade.org

@benlockwood@ecoevo.social openscience.network goes beyond that 👋

Originally published on Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy blog, this article by @s0hw@hci.social and @andresmh@hci.social reflects on a semester of collaboration with Bonfire. Together, we explored how Governance Cards could help communities describe how they organise and govern their shared spaces.

Community rules will ship alongside federated groups in the upcoming Bonfire release 🎉

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of hosting the second instalment in the Community Tooling Hack Day series.

We had some fantastic talks from Edward Saperia, Anni Chen, and Nick B followed by a day of conversation and hacking with other community organisers on the terrace at Newspeak House.

With Nick and Justin Chun I experimented with @Bonfire and (only just!) by the end of the day we had our own instance up and running at https://bonfire.notanother.pizza/ whilst other folks talked tooling and experimented with everything from collaborative docs to granular event space mapping.

A huge thank you as always to NewSpeak house for hosting us and to Twilio for sponsoring which let us feed the group both sushi and SendGrid credits!

If you're interested in joining the next one of these events (likely to be in November) check out our website at notanother.pizza and our Luma group at https://luma.com/not-another-pizza

We’re delighted to share that our talk: “Sovereignty Is More Than a Server: Public Digital Commons with Bonfire” has been accepted for the Open Source Conference Luxembourg 🎉 !
We’re looking forward to discussing why digital sovereignty requires more than self-hosting and how public digital commons and projects like Bonfire Networks can help build more open, democratic, and resilient digital ecosystems.

If you’re attending, we’d love to meet you, exchange ideas, and learn about what you’re working on.<span class="invisible"> #digitalsovereignty #commons #bonfire

Shared infrastructure is how the #Fediverse can grow without recreating enshittified platform silos.

We’re excited to share that Bonfire is working with Mastodon on two critical areas of Fediverse infrastructure: remote media storage and automated content detection.

Built around open Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) specifications, this work will help platforms connect to shared services instead of each having to build and operate the same capabilities alone.

Our aim is to make these capabilities open, interoperable, and available for any federated server to adopt.

A big thank you to @Mastodon@mastodon.social team for involving us in this work. We’re looking forward to building together and sharing what we learn along the way.

#ActivityPub #FASP

Oooh, neat -- @Bonfire has officially released its #Communities module: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bonfire-for-communities/

I backed the project, and I'm overjoyed to see it coming to fruition. The world *desperately* needs a good open-source, open-network, open-community alternative to enshittified monstrosities like Facebook, and #Bonfire is the first one I've seen that appears to check pretty much all the boxes of "how to do it right". It's impressively complete.

(Might force me to get off my ass and stand up my own server, so I can start hosting some of the communities I'm involved with.)

And yes, yes, Discord -- I use it a lot, but it's still corporate, still likely to enshittify, and really only covers a fraction of the Community use cases. This looks better.

So check it out -- I think it's an important project, that a lot of groups could probably benefit from...
