Bonfire isn’t easy to pin down, and that’s the point! We seek to enable a tapestry of social spaces, all built from shared building blocks but diverging in flavour, practice, and purpose.

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?
I'll pay the bills. Period.
I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

Moderator Needs Assessment
## 2024 Fediverse Needs Assessment
Last year we had over 130 responses representing over 200 servers. We’d love to hear from many more of you this year! Even if you are a one-person instance, your experience administering and moderating content is valuable information we can use to guide our resources and prioritise what we work on.
The survey takes a few minutes, all answers are optional, only tell us what you’re comfortable sharing.
**Take the 2024 Needs Assessment Survey**.
## 2023 Report
Our work is directed by the needs of the communities we serve, and we conduct an open survey of administrators, moderators, and community managers to ascertain their needs and priorities.
