RE: https://mastodon.social/@anewsocial/115532414137673471
We're very excited to work with @anewsocial@mastodon.social on bridging Bonfire with ATproto/Bluesky, to enable connecting and migrating across networks!
Last week @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe launched their first release and a fundraiser for their exciting roadmap 🔥
A part of that roadmap includes teaming up with us to bring Bridgy Fed and Bounce to Bonfire users!
Learn more about our partnership in our latest blog post: https://blog.anew.social/bonfire-a-new-social/
🎉
100 backers! We're ~€8,000 away from our first goal of €30,000 for maintenance.
Campaign perks include a limited-run, hand screen-printed piece by Rocco Lombardi, the artist behind Bonfire's visual world. There's also a regular print for a lower price, which available in more locations.
Rocco's work embodies what we care about: living worlds, connection, plurality. Our aesthetic embraces "contamination" and renewal: away from sterile platform design.

"Wielded well, the master’s tools can maybe be used to smash a few deserving walls [...] But like patient little demons, those tools carry inside them the spirit of their making. They twist in our hands in our moment of need and leave us blistered and bleeding. By serving the needs of the people who made them, they resist the greater work.
We need better tech. We need it to be made in better ways and for better uses, and above all, in and for communities."

🔥 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…

While at #sfscon we took the occasion to visit spazio77 https://resistenzeincirenaica.com/spazio-77/ an anti-fascist space in Bolzano involved in many cool projects in the region.
Worth a visit !
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.

Bonfire Open Science is now @ORCID_Org@scicomm.xyz certified as a Manuscript Submission System provider 🎉
This opens new possibilities for turning conversations into citable, #FAIR and permanent research objects. But what should be archived? How does this affect scientific discourse?
More details: https://openscience.network/blog/science_networks/
We also updated the website to investigate such questions together: https://openscience.network
Interested in setting up an instance for your collective or at your institution? Get in touch!
🔬
With Bonfire's upcoming Open Science Network 1.0, you can archive fediverse conversations to #zenodo (and compatible repositories like https://works.hcommons.org from @hello@hcommons.social) and obtain a #DOI.
Every participant becomes a credited co-author, and @ORCID_Org@scicomm.xyz integration can automatically publish it to your profile as well.
Join in co-designing community-owned infrastructure for open science! 🔥
