Our @fediforum@mastodon.social demo is up! 🔥

We showed off Bonfire Mosaic and our ongoing work on federated groups and new publisher tools we’ve been co-designing with jacobin.de, including federated discussion threads that can be embedded on their existing website.

Built on our modular framework for community-governed digital spaces.

Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse

Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.

@Bonfire @fediforum Hi there, any chance you will prohibit the use of #AI in code contributions?

Thanks for asking, it's something we're taking seriously. We're working on an AI policy for the project but want to do it thoughtfully and with care rather than rush something out, please bear with us.

@Bonfire @fediforum Thank you. I'll watch this space, I'm selecting very strongly for projects that decline AI contributions and was disappointed to find both Bonfire and Mastodon with significant indicators of Claude.

Thank you for being willing to discuss and consider it.
