i feel like i should take a close look at #HolosSocial, #LittleFedi (when it's ready) and #bonfiresocial and see about hosting a local-first focused fedi server for my neighbors, or at least us nerdy mesh neighbors and our friends. Getting stuff for messages and notifications about events would be nice, and a big 'fuck off' to big tech would probably be enticing at this point too

just a status report on #BonfireSocial 1.0.1 support, #Fedicat has basic functionality, can browse, like, boost, follow, bookmark, post without attachments. Avatars only show up sporadically, like after a boost.

"#Bonfire Networks is a tiny software org that has spent the past couple of years building a framework for communities on the open social web. At the end of last week, they released #BonfireSocial, a microblogging app. Like Mastodon, Bonfire Social runs on #ActivityPub, but it takes differently opinionated approach to sociability."
Check it out!

I have read about #BonfireSocial and even set up my own account at @[email protected] . I thought it was cool but it wasn't until I read @kissane 's blog post just now that I got hyped enough to back the crowdfunding campaign!
I encourage you to go read https://www.wrecka.ge/sparks-fly-up/ and take a look at https://bonfirenetworks.org/ and then maybe you might want to join in yourself at https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community .
This project has or is planning to include features we've been begging for, and beyond!

I'm not affiliated with #bonfiresocial, but I like what they're doing! Give them a look!

Was ein Chaos...
Ich schaue mich ja aus Interesse (aus echtem Interesse) gerade ein wenig bei Bonfire Social um. Da es bisher keine auffindbaren Instanzen gibt, dann halt bei "Campground", der Test-Instanz (ohne Föderation), die mit dem aktuellen Release Candidate läuft.
Solch einen chaotischen und in der Praxis echt nicht nutzbaren Stream (Timeline/Feed) hab ich echt noch nicht gesehen. Es scheint so, dass Kommentare zu Postings oder vorhandenen Kommentaren immer ganz oben im Feed erscheinen. Gemeinsam mit dem Posting oder dem Kommentar, auf den geantwortet wurde. Also nicht einmal, sondern immer wieder, mit jedem Kommentar. Das bedeutet, dass Postings bzw. Kommentare ständig im Feed wiederholt erscheinen. Immer so paarweise. Will man den gesamten Thread in der exakten Reihenfolge sehen, muss man das Posting bzw. den Kommentar aufrufen, indem man auf das Veröffentlichungs-Datum klickt. Dann wird der Thread komplett angezeigt.
Eine Filtermöglichkeit habe ich nicht gefunden. Bei Hubzilla kann ich die Stream-Reihenfolge ja festlegen und damit bestimmen, ob Postings, bei denen eine Antwort eingetroffen ist, wieder oben im Stream erscheinen. Sowas habe ich nicht gefunden. Und so ist der Feed gefüllt mit Doppelt- und X-fach-Einträgen. Übersichtlich ist anders. Und man doomscrollt dann, bis man wieder einmal etwas Neues gefunden hat, wenn man es nicht sogar übersieht.
Ist ja auch kein Ding... ist ja neu und frisch die Software. Aber ein Veröffentlichungs-Kandidat? Das verschreckt nicht nur bisherige Mastodon-Nutzer (die auch nicht mit richtig ordentlichen Threads gesegnet sind), sondern auch jeden, der von einer anderen Plattform kommt.
In meinen Augen, ist es noch ein Stück weit davon entfernt, vernünftig genutzt werden zu können.

The Fediverse is opening, but there is a cost
With the #Fediverse gaining #mainstreaming attention, we’re entering a familiar cycle, with the influx of well-funded #NGO-branded projects trying to "fix" the #openweb by reshaping it in their own narrowing and to often blinded dead end paths. Take this year’s #chatteringclass event, #FediForum. Alongside breathless praise, last years focus on #Threads joining the #opensocialweb space, we’re seeing the launch of shiny new tools: #BonfireSocial, #Channelorg, #Bounce. That promise […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-fediverse-is-opening-but-there-is-a-cost/

#BonfireSocial is a new #framework for building #communities on the #opensocial web. It is a #federated app, powered by #ActivityPub, and designed to be more modular and customisable than other social media platforms.
#Bonfire Social offers features like custom feeds, nested discussions, multiple profiles per user, and access control, giving communities control over their app’s functionality and roadmap.

"For the past couple of years, the virtual #FediForum conference has offered a glimpse at what’s new in the open social web, with last year’s big news being Threads’ foray into the fediverse. This year’s presentation was no different, with several developers showing off new apps that will help to expand the ecosystem of #decentralizedsocialnetworks.
#BonfireSocial, #Channelorg, and #Bounce are creating new ways to move around the #openweb."
