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?


Are there any benefits to using Bonfire over simply Mastodon/Misskey?
Open Science Network, though, is promising, but I don’t understand why the same group develops OSN and Bonfire. Am I missing something?
