Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ค๐

We all make mistakes,
If your comment is reported, and brings up a complex issue, we will reach out to you and ask you to rephrase it.
Our goal, is to create a serene space for discussion. Nothing more.
If the post isn't edited to remove hurtful language element, we will have to remove it. It would be a shame because your comment was interesting and you took some time to write it.
In case of xenophobia, racism, transphobia, homophobia or harassment, it will be a permanent ban.
Bonfire seems like a very good project, I like the philosophy behind it (beyond platforms, like some criticism raised recently), but it's a bit concerning that none of the instances seem to have any active users: https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list
Edit: found two:
I see Bonfire mentioned a lot on the fediverse report and elsewhere, but I still don't understand what it is. I went to their website and it's a wall of text that sounds like marketing. I don't see a demo or a flagship instance.
Thanks for the sciety link. It looks like a half broken mastodon feed. So it's a microblogging thing apparently?
I caught a lot of flak for a similar observation ages ago. Apparently I was the idiot because I wasn't interested in parsing corporate waffle.
I found the demo instance: https://campground.bonfire.cafe/
Regarding the project itself, it's supposed to be a mix of Mastodon/Piefed/Nextcloud
It kind of reminds of comments people made about "APub should not try to replicate corporate platforms, and just have the content available for everyone, then let the front-ends present it in different ways" in this thread: https://piefed.zip/c/fediverse/p/779852/is-pixelfed-sawing-off-the-branch-that-the-fediverse-is-sitting-on#post_replies
The execution however is less than ideal.
There is no flagship instance. I'm curious about bonfire too but, I'd like to be a regular user and try out how compatible it is with mastodon and the rest of the fediverse. Last time I checked the only bonfire instance that allowed signups didn't have federation on.
Groups is what's missing in Friendica to pull it all together and replace Facebook.ย
Friendica has groups #^https://wiki.friendi.ca/docs/groups-and-privacy
Those are not groups in the sense of Facebook groups. They're a group of contacts you create to publish to those people specifically.ย
i see. there are other friendica successors (hubzilla, forte, streams) which have forum support. Like hubzilla has support for forums [e.g. #^https://hubzilla.org/channel/adminsforum] which is what you are looking for.
An cool! I'll check those outย
It was never popular outside Brazil and India, but Orkut, Google's first social network, was based around groups and it was fantastic. I miss their structure tremendously.
Is it like MSN groups? Cause I loved that shit as a kid
MSN was great
Is it like Microsoft Teams but not evil?
