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?
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.
