Sitting with ambiguity
a great article by @dajbelshaw about avoiding dead metaphors and inviting us to stay with the trouble for a little bit more!

Heya! We would like to talk to people who have had to deal with mis/disinformation in federated environments within the past couple of years...
Get back to us or boost to reach more interested people :)

Cross posting the awesome article from @dajbelshaw , who are working with us to shape the user stories that will guide us building #zappa: an experimental extension to deal with misinformation on federated networks

@dajbelshaw @bernini @mayel @bonfire Maybe consider talking with the people from #Matrix about their decentralised reputation system. @matrix

Awesome. Just spoke with @bernini and @mayel about #Zappa, "a custom @bonfire extension to empower communities with a dedicated tool to deal with the coronavirus "infodemic" and online misinformation in general."

I'm being tasked with creating user stories based on interviews and workshops.
If this sounds like something you (or someone you know) might be interested in contributing to, let us know!
Boosts appreciated for reach 🚀
#Gitea is joining the fediverse 🎉 We can now announce we've been accepted into the #NLnet funding round that we applied to. https://nlnet.nl/project/Gitea/
Thank you to @NGIZero @dachary @forgefriends and so many others for getting us to this point.
We are very much looking forward to many wonderful things that federation within forges can support.
We are pleased to announce that Bonfire has been awarded a grant from the Culture of Solidarity Fund to support cross-border cultural initiatives of solidarity in times of uncertainty and "infodemic".

Calling anybody with experience with creating international multi-stakeholder cooperatives:
We're thinking about that form of org for https://www.valueflo.ws/ which is now being worked on, used by, and implemented by groups in the US and several European nations as of now. Some Canadians were involved earlier and might return. People in other parts of North and South America and Africa have connected a bit.
So how do we do something like that?
What are the hurdles? Who are good advisors?
We've agreed to publish our weekly meeting notes on #socialhub as a little step to improve our onboarding & dev experience

bonfire as...
a new thread on #socialhub that raises a lot of questions to be discussed together :)
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/some-digressions-about-bonfire/2156
As most #Fediverse applications are #monolithic, I am very hyped for @bonfire bringing a reformation, and just now say that Beta is soon ready - maybe I can ditch investigating #Mastodon, #Pleroma and #Misskey and immediately move to it after all :)
We've started a thread on #socialhub: How to improve bonfire development and onboarding experience https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/discussing-how-to-improve-bonfire-dev-experience/2152
Any feedback, suggestion, good practice is *very* welcome !
Bonfire is a Fediverse project that aims to store your social data on a physical device that you own (for example a Raspberry Pi running Bonfire software). It will also operate offline if preferred.
It's still in development, but you can follow the project at:

The new official website is at https://bonfirenetworks.org
(It was previously known as CommonsPub.)

A federated social network for individuals and communities to design, operate and control their own digital lives.
