🔥 Bonfire Social 1.0 release candidate has landed!

Curious about what the fediverse could look like with real community control?

Try out features like custom feeds, nested discussions, shared profiles, circles, and boundary-based permissions — then let us know what breaks or needs improvement.

More details and video demos: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bonf

@bonfire This is great. #ORCiD (https://campground.bonfire.cafe/openid/client/orcid) and federation is not yet working (I know it is a release candidate). The overall impression is “impressive!”. A lot of features suitable for research. Easy onboarding.💪
There is even a Weather widget ☀️

It seems that #bonfire can export and import all data (incl. posts, messages … Ghosted).

What if social networks served people in all their diverse complexity — instead of the streamlined simplicity of big platforms?

Bonfire Social is our first app: built for meaningful connection and conversation – community-governed spaces you can make your own.

It’s part of a modular framework that empowers communities to build the tools they need — and shape how they work and feel.

This is a chance to poke at the process, challenge assumptions, and have an open conversation. Bring your curiosity, hard questions, and ideas about co-design, funding, burnout, moderation, and the messy realities of open-source work.

Let’s dig into how fediverse apps get built, maintained, and shaped by their communities.

See you there! 🔗 https://fediforum.org

Very exciting to see @bonfire
share the work they are doing in creating sustainable commons in tech.

I am very much looking forward to networks and protocols starting to talk with each other, and building commons and bridges towards each other.

As @joinjabber we are also right now setting up our Governance to be based on sociocracy, with commons sustainability in mind and it is very encouraging to see other people also looking at what we can do above and beyond what Big tech has to offer.

Non serve essere tecnici o programmatori per partecipare! Il Bonfire Setup è proprio un momento per decidere insieme come vogliamo che funzioni il nostro spazio, quali valori promuovere e come gestirlo collettivamente.

Quando e dove: 9 maggio 2025, H.18.30 presso Scift (Làbas), Vicolo Bolognetti 2, Bologna.

🔥 Bonfire Setup: evento di configurazione collettiva ❤️‍🔥

Ti sei mai chiestə chi decide, come funzionano i social network che usiamo ogni giorno? Chi stabilisce le regole, cosa è permesso e cosa no, chi può entrare e chi viene escluso?

Vieni al @bonfire Setup, un incontro dove decideremo insieme come configurare, governare e abitare uno spazio digitale tutto nostro.
