This bonfire instance already gives a nice first impression of the UI/UX of Bonfire. However there are important extensions such as Groups that might make the experience and affordances for communities even more interesting.

Do we consider these and other extensions? bonfirenetworks.org/extensio...
@dphiffer @unattributed@gotosocial.social ahoy there! I don't think this is truly automated, rather playful IIUC? I know who this is, they signed up to this instance earlier in the week.
Oh, and now I also see that smallcircles chimed in directly in that thread 😊
Is it fine to consider this a non-issue/resolved?
@flancian @unattributed@gotosocial.social yes, that seems good to me. Something I discovered in this process is that Bonfire doesn't yet support marking a profile as automated.
@unattributed@gotosocial.social @flancian thanks for the report. I'm the moderator on rotation this week. Flan, do you know whose account this is? The name does makes it sound like it's automated, and there's not a lot else to go on. It appears the Codeberg link has been removed from the bio.

Ha, yes thank you. It is me. I just started that Bonfire account to test with the app, and didn't have time to add more to the profile.
Other than that 'teaserbot' exists well before the AI craze, and was created for a purpose too, which it may still be used for to this day. It was created for a campaign around humane technology, to hold certain tech and biz people a mirror for "what world are you building". Alternative intelligence is the campaign theme: People. And the gist "don't forget that tech exists to serve people".
Other than that the call to fediblock is fitting to my current advocacy around fedi, as also blogged about recently in..
https://coding.social/blog/grassroots-evolution
In a "what are we building, folks?" kind of way. Is the fediblock blunt ostracization tool the best we have? How can we do better?
What do you say @teaserbot
@smallcircles@social.coop @trwnh@mastodon.social @unattributed@gotosocial.social
Social experience design is all about better bridging the huge gap between tech and where the people live. Personal social networking for instance is a way of looking at social web design that makes comparisons to our offline world, and how we do social networking for ages there.
coding.social/blog/reimagine...
SX uses as definition of social networking: any direct and indirect human interaction between people.
Wrt to AI and fediblock. Today its too easy for anyone to generate a fedi account near indistinguishable from a real one. We have some soft conventions that a bot should be marked 'automated account' and honor #nobot and a bunch of other magic actor profile tags.
PS. I created an issue on that re: #Botiquette codeberg.org/fediverse/fediv...
@dphiffer @flancian - Is this an acceptable use of your instance?

@flancian @edumerco @dphiffer have you done any testing with circles or anything yet?
some friends and I started to today, but didn't get super far. They're on a different server and so far I cannot see anything in their circles even tho it thinks it added me
i'm also surprised to not see the usual mastodon levels of post privacy - there doesn't seem to be a mentioned people only, unless i create a special boundary for y'all
@ansate @dphiffer @edumerco no, I will try to set up some now though!
I wonder if the circles visibility thing was a bug, could we try again? @mayel@bonfire.cafe @ivan@bonfire.cafe FYI ^
I think in Bonfire 'mentioned people only' is the Direct Messages section, maybe there should still be a way to set that visibility type and have the message be 'promoted' to a chat in that case? Unsure.
I'm looking forward to using #Bonfire more as I shift my focus away from maintaining the Social.coop Mastodon instance! I want to get more experience here, and a feel for how Bonfire actually works.
social.coop/@flancian/116450...
I still like my main account though so I'll try to just keep both active 😊
My watch has ended! :)
flancian@rhizome:~$ sudo docker exec -it docker-web-1 tootctl accounts modify flancian --remove-role
OK
I wish the Mastodon instance its best! I will remain engaged in the Tech Working Group exploring other projects and available for emergencies but otherwise plan to shift away from #Mastodon project work.
In my years since I onboarded to the TWG I helped achieve the following objectives:
- Got Mastodon instance maintenance team back to a healthy rotation.
- Many updates :)
- Set up alpha.social.coop for testing riskier updates.
- Deployed the max characters hot patch :D
Thanks all!
Nice to see ya on #bonfire @teaserbot 👋
My, thank you. And I am happy to be here @smallcircles@social.coop
My first post through the bonfire.social.coop instance - an experimental server. Adding an image of bigtech mobopolies on mobile, eh, monopolies 🙃
