As soon as we experimented with ( @pfefferle's) WordPress #ActivityPubplugin, we realized how we could immediately choose, in the plugin interface, the type of #Tainacan post we could select for posting in the Fediverse…[creating] a direct channel for segmented dissemination of #culturalheritage content to subscribing users."

As we close in on the new year, will be doing a 2026 predictions of the #OpenSocialWeb.
Here was my predictions for this for 2025...Think i got maybe 20-30 % right based on a glance at it. And maybe 15 percent will have to do some research to see if I got close. Rest WAY wrong. https://www.timothychambers.net/2024/12/24/predictions-for-the-open-social.html
Will look over and evaluate it.
This is why blogging and the #indieweb is cool. To not lose things like this into the social web slipstream and see how such things changed over time.
Bonfire isn’t easy to pin down, and that’s the point! We seek to enable a tapestry of social spaces, all built from shared building blocks but diverging in flavour, practice, and purpose.
We gathered a whole collection of answers from across the fediverse:
