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: indiegogo.com/projects/bonfire

both bonfire social and openscience.network are built on bonfire, they address different needs and have different features and UX. We are now working with communities that needs tools for organising and coordinating (events, decision making, mutual aid, etc) which will result in new extensions that everyone will be able to install and use in their own bonfire app. We're not competing or building a mastodon alternative, we're building tools for communities in the open social web...

🚹 Last month observed the highest average temperature for the month of October across the #Antarctic Circle, with clearly 2025 well above any prior year in the satellite era.

I've lately been quite obsessed with this app called StreetComplete. It gamifies contributing to OpenStreetMaps in a really nice way by giving you you little quests to do while you walk around. A fun way to get some steps in, to make you look closer at your environment and to do a good thing!

No.

I can see no links to download their network data under an open license. In skimming their terms I think they seem very keen that no one but them ever benefits from it and they repeat "Copyright © 2025 Bike Streets, LLC. All rights reserved." on every page I've checked.

I will not be contributing to what appears to be a closed #OpenStreetMap derived database.

I would much rather improve an actual community project like OSM with data that can be used by others.

Yah there is no purpose in this society other than trading. Ancient practice that has transformed us all into merchants and consumers. Until that is recognized there is no path towards a solution.

Je découvre que Moby a mis plein de musiques en libre accÚs sur mobygratis.com/

TrĂšs cool.

@bohwaz Je sais 🙂 Mais Creative Commons ont dĂ©jĂ  la clause NC et ND en non-libre. Donc une autre de plus, si ça pourrait reflĂ©ter des usages plus modernes comme ici....

En tout cas, tant que Moby contrÎle sa propre page, il peut aussi l'éditer, restreindre plus, changer ses rÚgles: donc terrain glissant pour les dérivations.

C'est pour ça qu'avoir un acteur tier comme CC avec leurs versions fixes serait sans doute plus solide pour faire du partage sous conditions.

@tibolalu C'est certain que montrĂ© comme ça 😆 Ça deviendrait vite fait un sacrĂ© foutoir la CC.

Je me pose la question si finalement la clause no alt-right et la close vegan qu'explore Moby ne pourrait simplement pas faire parti du droit morale, pour peu que l'auteur⋅ice l'exprime clairement. đŸ€”

Je vais faire mes recherches la dessus. C'est peut-ĂȘtre tout simplement pas du ressort de la CC ce genre de close.
