🔥 Day 1 was incredible! Thank you to everyone who backed the campaign. We’re just €10K from our maintenance goal: the foundation that keeps everything running. Once we achieve it, we’ll shift into stretch goals co-designed with communities and teams: moderation tools, encryption, mutual aid networks, cooperative hosting, native apps, and more… Help us get there: image
Bonfire Social 1.0 is live! A federated, community‑first social network built on the modular Bonfire toolkit, and it’s only the beginning. It's time to go beyond microblogging and build apps for community organising, open science, mutual aid, and collective decision‑making. Let's take back the internet with open protocols, consent‑based governance, and portability by design. Back the “last migration” from closed platforms to open networks: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bonfire/community?refcode=FVxjqI1kLUOhHXxqyrS6-g 1/2 image

🔥 Consent-based quoting has arrived in Bonfire! The latest Bonfire Social release implements Mastodon's FEP-044f, enabling you to: ✨ Use boundaries to define who can quote your post, who must request first, or who cannot request at all. ✨ Quote — or request consent to quote — someone else’s post. ✨ Give or withdraw consent at any time. A first step toward making quoting work smoothly and respectfully across the fediverse. Read more about 1.0 RC3: #quote image
