FYI today's talk was moved 10 minutes earlier to 17:10 CET

🚄 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!

@coop@cosocial.ca ​awesome! Eaeger to read notes from your #bonfire explorations ☺️

@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu ​In version 1.0.2-alpha.6 you should be able to set COMPILE_ALL_LOCALES=no in env

@memoria@wetdry.world

That'd be a cool extension indeed! Have you also looked at wanderer.to ?

@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu how did you try disabling locales?

"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."

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @nicolasvivant@colter.social ​i thought it was a meme 🫠

btw also bluesky is lobbying quite hard in EU afaik

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.

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share some updates:

Bonfire 1.0.1 is out! 🎉
This release is all about making your social web experience livelier, more connected, and truly yours. It brings features like following hashtags, scheduled posts, dashboard widgets, and more. This is the very first delivery from the maintenance work funded by your incredible support. Thank you for helping us reach this milestone and keep Bonfire thriving!

For details about the release see our latest blog post: Bonfire 1.0.1: Building Momentum

What’s next for crowdfunding?

If you're an existing backer, the pledge manager is now open. Please keep an eye out for updates there so we can start preparing rewards for you.

The campaign is open again for the next month. With core maintenance funded, every new pledge (or increased pledge from existing backers) now goes directly toward our first stretch goal: federated groups. Support or share our extended campaign to help fund community-owned, cross-instance spaces for real collaboration and self-governance.

Bonus good news: Thanks to a new grant, end-to-end encrypted messaging in Bonfire is now funded and in development!

Thank you once again for being part of the Bonfire movement! Your feedback, support, and community spirit make all of this possible. If you have questions or want to get involved, reach out or come say hello at FOSDEM if you’re in Brussels at the end of January!

With gratitude,
The Bonfire Team

@Edent@mastodon.social ​love your book reviews, i have in my list "How to speak whale" and "The bees" because of you, but i'm tempted to read this one first now 😊

@snowborn@mastodon.green @Casey@theforkiverse.com ​would be great to experiment 😊

More news about community features in the coming weeks!

@phillycodehound@indieweb.social We’re adding Mastodon API support, which will let you use Bonfire through any compatible client app. Aiming to include it in version 1.0.2!

@ozoned@btfree.social

@PetroleumPredator@indieweb.studio ​yeah it's quite an outdated version, we are shipping the 1.0.1 which solved the bugs you are experiencing
