We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥 with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:

• Federated comments embeddable on any web page.

• Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.

• New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.

• #CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...
• Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @[email protected] into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.

I wrote a blog post where I distinguish *mutual follows* from *friends* and raise the question: which platforms in the #Fediverse should offer friendships? Would this fit Mastodon? Only #Friendica? Some flavor of #Bonfire?

This article explores Bonfire Flavours, the platform’s starter apps targeted to specific types of communities. It originally appeared on The Fulcrum’s official website.

just discovered another super interesting and needed work done by @[email protected] and @[email protected] platform.coop/blog/toward-wo...

"Aiming to shift control of delivery work away from a single entity, OpenCourier is a protocol that defines data formatting and communication across a decentralized network of delivery platforms, couriers, and service requesters. Broadly, we aim to enable an ecosystem (Fig. 1) that centers community-owned delivery platforms, where workers — who we refer to as couriers, given their work providing delivery services — cooperatively manage the platform they are a part of.

Do you hear frogs?
