@Oceane Sean Carrol says time is just events ordered by entropy. the big bang was in the past because the universe had lower entropy than today, tomorrow is tomorrow because it will have more entropy than today.

This may be a bit of a different perspective on the Circles, Boundaries and Roles concepts. I have a parent with #Dimentia that loves social media.

Would it be possible to setup an account so that they can ONLY interact with users within specific circles and boundaries? And even further - limit that user's response types (like, retweet only)?

The new release includes among other things:

  • 🎨 improved themes consistency and a11y
  • 📱 improved mobile responsive
  • The layout has been adapted to the latest mockups in preparation for groups and topics (it may feels a bit weird ATM to have the left sidebar emptier than before, but it will be filled with groups and topics 🙃
  • several bugfixing ( you can follow this milestone for more details github.com/bonfire-networks/... )

Good use of the above quotation by Marshall McLuhan in this article by L. M. Sacasas. They point out that we no longer access to coherent narratives, but rather find ourselves confronting "a cacophony of data points (videos, statements, claims, images, etc.)"

Which is why conspiracy theories abound.

I'm pretty sure that Bonfire 1.0 will result in massive adoption and in a significant cultural shift on the Fediverse, fast.
