Here's another unique feature of Bonfire. One account, many profiles.

When you create an account, you can create multiple profiles, each with it's own unique followers, content and settings (and emojis!).

Ownership of profiles can be shared with others. A moderation team, a news publication […]

How to Think Unlike Humans? | Antikythera

"How do we maintain a sense of individual agency when our connection is increasingly distributed?"
I am enjoying every second of this talk:
unlikehumans.antikythera.org/

The image shows a user interface for adding custom emojis, including fields for labeling the emoji, choosing a shortcut, and uploading an image. There is also a section displaying existing custom emojis.

Fun fact (really). The Bonfire fediverse platform allows each **individual user** the ability to upload their own set of custom emojis.

There seems to be no limit to how many, tho I'm sure there will have to be as it gets more popular. And it will. Looking snazzy!

@rmounce yeah, maybe we could offer crossreff/datacite integrations for orgs that already have active memberships (eg universities that setup an instance) so that can publish DOIs by their own prefix…otherwise partnership with @rogue_scholar for those communities that has not any membership…

@rmounce ps datacite seems much more expensive than crossref…

An article in bonfire is the equivalent of federated long form content in Wordpress/ghosts.

#openscience We're starting to experiment with generating DOIs for articles in Bonfire. We're considering using @crossref as the initial provider, but we'd love to hear your thoughts—is Crossref the right place to start, or would you recommend a different service?

A picture of a quaint British town, Robin Hood's Bay. A pub can be seen called 'Ye Dolphin'. Copy over the image reads: Fancy a pint? Activity Pub is built to be social, just like your local. Newsmast Foundation.

Summer in the UK usually involves a visit to the pub 🍻

At the Newsmast Foundation, we're spending our summer at a different kind of pub - Activity Pub (but yeah, we'll probably be at the other kind once or twice too)!

@jaz
There's now a new setting under "privacy" to decide the default active tab in the DM view (fig 1) and we've implemented filtering DMs by "followed only" (fig 2) as the lowest hanging fruit 🍓 .
DMs from people you don't follow are still received and saved […]

If you want the Fediverse to succeed, you need to step out and understand why other folks aren't joining.

Sure, you can post negatively about the alternatives using an ActivityPub account where no one else can see it, or you can go to the other sites and tell them why you look down upon them […]

@bonfire hey @maeool have you seen this? would really love to help get people thinking about how we can get fediverse reviews into @cartes_app and all these little steps people are making lately with location integration are steps on the same path
