I work as a software developer on collective memory projects, mostly in libraries and archives.
W3C has posted that we are no longer active on X/Twitter and have directed all our followers here to Mastodon.
We are encouraging all W3C-related accounts to do the same.
Encourage your friends to follow us here!

W3C in the news: "Do We Want an Immersive Web?"
"Are there ethical considerations related to immersion on the web, such as issues of privacy, digital addiction, or data security?
“The web provides an infrastructure for a variety of mediums to reach, engage and influence billions of people. To protect the web and its users there are international standards in place governed by The World Wide Web Consortium or W3C."

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

I'm posting this here rather than on Mastodon because I think the Bonfire people seem to have good intentions and perhaps their project goes somewhere, but can someone help me understand what truly compelling features Bonfire is planning to develop that aren't already provided by Friendica or other ActivityPub platforms?
