i ask because Bonfire is a free libre open source project proposing a federated social media approachqand it seems cool… but i can’t join the pilot program since i’m not in a school or such organization.
Idk what’s already in use though so this is a joint shoutout and a question. Like, what way do you use to chat about nerdy stuff rn? Does this Bonfire.social project fill a niche you’re missing alot in?
Mathoverflow is still quite active though it’s just math. Other than that, there are some good personal blogs and the like. Mathstodon.xyz is a math focused Mastodon instance if that helps. Bonfire doesn’t sound interesting at the moment but maybe it will become so. I’m pretty down on the whole concept of social media though. I’m here out of habit.
