Fediverse community platform Bonfire launches, together with a crowdfunding campaign. Mastodon now officially quote posts, and a fediverse client for the Media Liberation Day campaign.
The Twits got their way and now mastodon will be a bonfire.

Bonfire social seems cool as fuck, but I wish I understood exactly what it is a little better-
Am I understanding right that its more fediverse building tools for folks who run instances? Or is it a platform like lemmy, mastodon, piefed? Both? Something else entirely?
It feels hard to pin down what it actually is 😅

It seems like it’s a platform. The roadmap includes things like groups, events, encryption, protocol bridges, and whole bunch of other stuff. Per their indie gogo campaign: “Bonfire is open, community-first social infrastructure. A digital commons where people gather, co-create, and care together.” They also have an app available currently, which is what this article is about.

Its a good idea so people dont have to reinvent the wheel f, but we need to be very careful and make sure its not forcing the fediverse to become less open and anonymous.
