@bonfire congratulations. That’s really exciting for you. This is an ambitious project with great value.

(I know you posted this news a month ago, but I just now saw a boost in my feed. And the congrats is still in order.)

@bonfire Could you tell what exactly this is and how it’s different from using Mastodon or so? I don’t mean a/the pitch-story for investors (I could read the lengthy campaign then) but simple facts?

@bonfire@indieweb.social why am I getting AI vibes from this?

@bonfire your Elixir ActivityPub library has been on my radar for a while, but unfortunately pulling it in would involve having developers who solicit donations for slop code: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/blob/main/AGENTS.md in my dependency graph, and I can’t justify that for software that’s meant to serve the marginalized communities currently being harmed by LLMs like the ones you’re using.

@bonfire how is this different to mastodon and is there no way to get an account without hosting an instance?

@bonfire Congratulations on 1.0! Such a long way coming.
Fingers crossed the campaign will be successful, and glad you asked us to be part of it.

@bonfire Is the screen printed art piece already gone? I don't see it in the list of campaign rewards, but with an edition of 250 it seems like there should still be some left, right? 🤔

@bonfire Congratulations on the launch!

@bonfire interesting bonfire I like that idea

@bonfire could you explain to a non tech person what the difference to mastodon is? It's not open to join yet, just for people who want to start an instance ?
