An instance of Bonfire (https://bonfirenetworks.org) for Social.coop to gather round :) This is in testing, may disappear at any time, do not trust it with critical data yet -- but enjoy!

Addendum: Actually, having reminded myself what this interface looks like, I think Friendica threads are better formatted than Bonfire threads.

I've been trying out Friendica and Friendica groups provide the same functionality as Bonfire circles, Friendica provides well-formatted conversation threading similar to Bonfire, and Friendica already federates.

I believe there are other protocols that have made similar headway too, although I havne't tried them out yet.

In light of that, can someone convince me that the Bonfire project is truly worthwhile?

Yes.  I really appreciate that the's an option for a proper thread view.  I'm less than pleased with the fact that there's also options for sorting threads by numbers of replies or numbers of likes. 

I would prefer to get away from social media being a massive popularity contest.

I see a nice indented thread pretty much automatically...

Adding to the thread, I think.

But let's find out how to see a thread in @Bonfire

Playing around with creating a thread.
