Attached: 1 image Bonfire Social 1.0 is live! A federated, community‑first social network built on the modular Bonfire toolkit, and it’s only the beginning. It's time to go beyond microblogging and build apps for community organising, open science, mutual aid, and collective decision‑making. Let's take back the internet with open protocols, consent‑based governance, and portability by design. Back the “last migration” from closed platforms to open networks: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bonfire/community?refcode=FVxjqI1kLUOhHXxqyrS6-g 1/2
