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."

dynamic: 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.

dynamic: 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?

Hello everyone.

I'm on this testing ground too and I like quite much Bonfire.

  • the threaded view
  • the (comfortable) editor
  • the circles idea
  • other minor (as the possibility to add tasks and other objects). 😊

What do you like, and what don't you like about it?

Best...

Bob Haugen: I see a nice indented thread pretty much automatically...

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.
