RE: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/
Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.
[@swf](https://socialwebfoundation.org ) with support from @npub1yng…nhrk is coordinating two interoperable implementations.
Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @npub17gq…8hhz
We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.

Several people asked if our artwork, such as the print we offer as a crowdfunding reward, is AI-generated.
It’s not.
It’s an original work by Rocco Lombardi, the artist behind the Bonfire icon and much of our other illustrations, hand screen-printed by BeeInk, a social print studio in Belluno, Italy.
Grab one and support the development of federated groups in Bonfire

Do you want to help people escape Big Tech and join the open social web? We need help to boost the Bonfire campaign. With #GivingTuesday momentum is on our side, but most people stuck on enshitified platforms only see content from people still active there.
If that's you, pick a template below (or write your own) and post it anywhere you have reach: Facebook (incl groups), LinkedIn, Twitter, email lists, Slack/Discord. Every share brings us closer to an open community‑governed internet. Thanks!

Back the campaign to unlock Federated Groups!
Self-governed groups with their own rules, roles & shared moderation across servers. Interoperable with PieFed, Mbin, Mobilizon, Friendica, etc.
Co-designed with @npub1cr8…dnek, @npub1tms…w47k and communities such as activist collectives and research organisations to reimagine groups when communities own their tools, can set rules, moderate spaces, and connect beyond single servers.

🎉 100 backers! We're ~€8,000 away from our first goal of €30,000 for maintenance.
Campaign perks include a limited-run, hand screen-printed piece by Rocco Lombardi, the artist behind Bonfire's visual world. There's also a regular print for a lower price, available in more locations.
Rocco's work embodies what we care about: living worlds, connection, plurality. Our aesthetic embraces "contamination" and renewal: away from sterile platform design.

"Wielded well, the master’s tools can maybe be used to smash a few deserving walls [...] But like patient little demons, those tools carry inside them the spirit of their making. They twist in our hands in our moment of need and leave us blistered and bleeding. By serving the needs of the people who made them, they resist the greater work.
We need better tech. We need it to be made in better ways and for better uses, and above all, in and for communities."

That would be great! We anyway want to federate link preview metadata (I see there's https://helge.codeberg.page/fep/fep/8967/ though nobody seems to have implemented it yet) so it'd be great if it was done as an extension of that, so that non-scientific platforms can still show a subset of the preview information at least? And yeah looking at existing schemas to reuse sounds great, maybe we can collaborate on a FEP draft that just points to those and shows some examples?

🔥 Consent-based quoting has arrived in Bonfire!
The latest Bonfire Social release implements Mastodon's FEP-044f, enabling you to:
✨ Use boundaries to define who can quote your post, who must request first, or who cannot request at all.
✨ Quote — or request consent to quote — someone else’s post.
✨ Give or withdraw consent at any time.
A first step toward making quoting work smoothly and respectfully across the fediverse.

🔥 Bonfire now supports post imports when migrating instances
You can bring your posts (+ optionally replies) with you when moving to a Bonfire instance from another instance or platform. Imported posts keep their original dates and URIs. Threads are preserved, as are like/boost counts. It works by "boosting" all your old posts (without flooding others' feeds with old activities).

🔗 Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available.
➡️ Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍️
It will be available in next release to test it out!

Next stop: Brussels! 🌍
The Complex Anarchism Symposium will gather scientists, artists, activists & dreamers for a 5-day deep dive on organizing without hierarchy and embracing complexity.
A Bonfire instance will serve as digital commons — a self-organized space for discussion, coordination, proposals & reflection.
Excited for this collective experiment and to see what emerges. 🌱

Oh yeah that's a good point, we recently added the option to filter feeds (including notifications) by circles, so we'd just need to add a way to also exclude circles.

And it should go without saying, we put in a lot of effort and thinking so that every feature we build is not app-specific but can interoperate with the rest of the fediverse, whether other apps have an equivalent feature or not. For aspects for example, each topic could be represented by a separate ActivityPub actor (which would boost relevant activities from your main profile) that people could then follow from any fediverse instance or app.

Thanks for the tag! We've indeed been thinking about this for a while, and while we have several kinda related features (circles, topics, and multiple users per account), we'd like to build something that more directly addresses the need @npub192u…3hrh is expressing. We have an issue about it and this thread has triggered some more thinking about how we could implement it there: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/646

hey there! Yeah we are still rolling :) mostly heads down on finishing the 1.0 release hence we are not communicating much new experimentations lately. But we aim to put the testing server online again in 2-3 weeks with *lots* of improvements.
Ofc manpower has always been a huge limit as well as finances, but we will get there ✌️… ha! the joy of floss

Kudos to @npub1z4k…g27u @npub1dad…y568 @npub1vag…mjkp and all the wonderful people involved in pushing the Harris campaign and crowdfunding across the fedi, despite the result this is the approach we need to cultivate for the years to come.
Use the fediverse to organize, care, protect and grow the commons.
Make alliances, experiment, build cooperatives, transform how we work and connect and have fun.
Explore the art of living in a damaged planet.

yeah it’s a pity we still didn’t found a way to focus on RFF pilot! We are trying to get the 1.0 out and at same time find sustainability to pay ourselves and onboard new devs among other things. Maybe applying to a grant to develop the needed features could be a way to push this forward? Happy to chat more about it…

Enabling third-party integrations in Bonfire is a breeze. ✨
Scientists can choose to enable @npub10qx…kwm3 widgets in their Extensions settings to display relevant data about their work and research topics directly on their profiles.
We've prototyped an initial extension and are excited to explore more advanced use cases with our network, pushing the boundaries of integrating open and #FAIR data into the #fediverse.
Join us at the #Fediforum to discuss this and much more!

🔥 "Content Labeling" is a feature that allows moderators (or those w/ permissions) to add context to potentially misleading or unclear posts by attaching labels and linking reliable sources. It aims to reduce misinformation and promote informed discussions. Moderators can choose predefined labels (or create custom ones), add notes and reference links to guide readers.

Together, we'll explore how we can build open and federated digital spaces that are co-designed and governed by scientific communities.
Join us to explore how we can create digital spaces that foster collaboration, ensure data ownership, and push the boundaries of open science practices in federated environments.

Our goal is to co-design the theme with pilot projects, to make this platform ideal for knowledge dissemination on the Fediverse. #Mosaic
