Hey @admin, does this Bonfire instance have the events extension? Was kind of curious about playing with it.
@deadsuperhero@spark.box464.social not, we currently display events from gancio, mobilizon etc and have a custom feed for events that you can include in your navbar - but you cannot create events on bonfire yet.
We are working with @klasse_methode@chaos.social to federate Lauti, their community calendar...
Quanti guru della IA che si vedono in giro. Scommetto che cinque anni fa erano tutti guru del metaverso.

@smallcircles@social.coop @box464@mastodon.social oh super interesting!

I'm playing around with Offer activities in Fedify. The AP Vocab provides this, easy peasy.
✅ Alice OFFERS Book to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Alice's OFFER
Or:
✅ Bob OFFERS Rotten Tomato to Alice
❌ Alice REJECTS Bob's OFFER
----------------
But I'm not clear if this is right:
❓Alice ANNOUNCES OFFER of Labubu to Followers?
❓Bob OFFERS $10 for Labubu to Alice?
❓ Alice ACCEPTS Bob's OFFER of $10 for Labubu?
✅ Alice OFFERS Labubu to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Labubu
@smallcircles@social.coop @box464@mastodon.social oh super interesting!

🔥 There's still some time to join the crowdfunding for @Bonfire and contribute to building a better world! 🤩
https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community
(if you don't know about Bonfire yet: it's an awesome project building a network that's community-governed, open, built for people instead of for companies, and engineered to support and empower communities. It's an amazing vision, and one they're well on their way to realize 💫✨)
( ⁂ and of course Bonfire federates with the fediverse 🥰 ⁂ )
@buzz maestro, gradisce un po' di cocaina?

🚄 The Bonfire team is rolling into Brussels for FOSDEM 2026!
Come find us at one of Europe’s biggest free software gatherings, with over 8,000 people, dozens of devrooms, and all things open source. We’re giving two talks this weekend (and both will be livestreamed at the links below, so you can join from anywhere, with recordings up afterward):
Building Modular, Consentful, and Federated Social Networks
🎥 Social Web devroom
🗓️ Saturday, Jan 31st, 17:10–17:30 CET
🌐 Local time where you are
Modular Communication Tools on the Open Social Web
🎥 Decentralised Communication devroom
🗓️ Sunday, Feb 1st, 14:45–15:15 CET
🌐 Local time where you are
We’ll be sharing more about the why and how of Bonfire and our ecosystem, hands-on demos, announcing new alliances, and real stories from communities using Bonfire today.
We can’t wait to connect with the open source and fediverse crowd, swap ideas, and meet anyone passionate about building healthier, more flexible, and consentful digital spaces. Whether you’re a developer, community organiser, or just fediverse-curious, come say hi!
We have our #CoSocial January Assembly this Thursday, Jan 29 @ 5 PT | 6 MT | 7 CT | 8 ET.
We have two topics:
🧤 Demoing services we offer our members:
Phanpy http://phanpy.cosocial.ca/
and Hedgedoc for collaborative notetaking https://pad.cosocial.info/
🧤 Launching Bonfire as an experiment rather than stable service for members to explore
RSVP: https://luma.com/hze3hdoe
Notes: https://members.cosocial.ca/t/january-cosocial-assembly-january-29-2026/797

just a status report on #BonfireSocial 1.0.1 support, #Fedicat has basic functionality, can browse, like, boost, follow, bookmark, post without attachments. Avatars only show up sporadically, like after a boost.

I started looking into suitable open-source ActivityPub-powered applications that can serve as digital platforms for IRL communities such as cities, neighbourhoods and municipalities.
In my own local community, a substantial bit of online discourse and engagement happens on Facebook, so we do have a benchmark ;-)

"sabato 24 gennaio mobilitazioni in tutto il mondo per difendere la rivoluzione del Rojava e il progetto del confederalismo democratico. Non è un appello rituale, né una convocazione simbolica. È una richiesta urgente di solidarietà mentre Kobane è di nuovo accerchiata, mentre la linea del fronte si avvicina e l’esperimento politico più avanzato mai nato in Medio Oriente rischia di essere schiacciato sotto il peso combinato di eserciti regolari, milizie jihadiste e cinismo geopolitico."

Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.
Same shit, different flag.
And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.
Fuck these people.

Bonfire has just released a new version, which includes initial support for Mastodon API endpoints (interested how this will work, as Bonfire has sooo many more post control options)
And…initial work on an ActivityPub C2S API!

In a new analysis by Corporate Europe Observatory and LobbyControl, we trace Big Tech's fingerprints on the Digital Omnibus proposals - a major deregulation of EU digital laws including the GDPR and the AI Act. They are helped in this attempt by the Trump administration and the European far right.
