I agree, many flags could mean different things depending on the topic and the community.

On the other hand, couldn't that also be said about other metrics to some extent? I mean in the sense that before jumping in, I need to use my judgement based on general context (e.g knowledge of the community) and topic title, avatar list, available metrics, etc.

Interesting things can be learnt from threads on hot or complex topics, or where a different set of people engage, and I don't mind being part of community moderation. It's just that being the umpteenth person attempting to get a derailed thread back on track feels like I'm wasting my energy.

In a functional community this is just the odd thread, though, so probably less of a concern for the kind of thing Bonfire aims for?

@mayel @ivan Sounds good, I think that would help me decide on which threads to read through.

I assume there still has to be some kind of clickable "You liked this post" indicator on posts to allow people to "undo" a like.

It works 😀

Ok the editor role is now added...
@ivan can you try editing this comment? mixed by ivan

And we'll be adding an editor role to use boundaries & circles to collaborate on posts!

Here's what the new post editing feature currently looks like (with a history of edits showing what was changed). You can find it in the dropdown next to a post, try it out and let us know what you think!

🚀 Reflecting on a productive week focused on enhancing discussions on Bonfire!

Here our major improvements:

✨ Give a title to your discussions
📊 View discussion metrics for better insights
🔍 Read discussions seamlessly with an optimised legibility experience
✏️ Bonus: Edit posts!

Next week, we'll focus on federating threads and iterate with the community to squash bugs and enhance user experience.

Welcome

Welcome to my bonfire posts. I am going to make some posts (more brilliant, more common, more irrelevant, more relevant, more happy, more interesting, more... and more... and more..

How?

In this way, long and I am going to explain some concepts and call (or request) for comments, with #bonfireRFC

@mayel @ivan @edumerco

Another thing about the metric... trust and robustness to editing and deleting. If the post is moved by the actor(owner), trust in the "punch" allocated on the initial thread and robustness to subsequent editing (before or after move) would need to be incorporated in the "punch" metric.

Just arbitrary, calling it "punch". There is probably an official name in some standard (that I haven't found). I think it is equivalent to the flame icon mentioned elsewhere. To first order, ActivityPub (AP) spec seems to put it in the "microsyntax" vocabulary with "may" connection with other AP implementations (?languages?... Mastodon, et al.). It doesn't seem to be an ActivityType such as Like (in the AP spec). I looked in the Bonfire documentation, but I don't know how to find how the "flame" maps to AP.

@KazukyAkayashi welcome 🤗

Hello World 😉

@ivan I like how this now makes the difference between a title and a content warning clearer.

Ciao, qui è bonfire

🔥 We've just rolled out a new feature: thread titles.
Add a title to your thread - either initially or add it later as discussions develop and edit it if the discussion takes another direction. We're exploring if this offers more context to discussions, driving better user participation and streamlining discussion management. Try it and let us know what you think!

@CynthesisToday @mayel the White paper looks extremely interesting...thanks for sharing, will read it over the weekend and get back to you 😊

I love the Demon Slayer Soundtracks!
Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina are great artists!
