@lne super interesting, wondering if it is a valid metric though and in which ways it may have privacy implication ? A thread may have a lot of flagged activities because it talks about a complex topic (covid, politics, religion, gender ...) and users want to properly moderate it, on the contrary a thread without flagged activities may be just not moderated at all and being full of trolls ?

Maybe we can show a label only when the amount of flags exceed a certain amount (eg. after 30 flags on the whole thread) - as an indication 🤔

@lne @ivan This does make me think though that maybe showing some metrics (like boosts and likes) as an aggregate for an entire thread (instead of for an individual post or comment) may be interesting indicator while being less connected to ego and addiction?

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.

This will be a long long thread

Perhaps there is an idea for an algorithm in this report.

Here's another example of quantifying elements of a thread with real world example: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/learninganalytics/2016/01/26/the-application-of-social-network-analysis-in-canvas-discussion/

From a data portability perspective, when an actor moves themselves (and their past posts) to a new instance, each post in a thread can contain a vector of the original posting "punch" based on metrics. When the actor's past posts are discovered by the actors of the new instance it may spawn a new thread graph. This implies these "punch" metrics are supported in the new instance. Maybe as a microsyntax?

Hello World 😉

🔥 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!

With this entry, <1 day of engagement here. Enticed by some posts by https://xn--ocane-csa.fr/ on #Mastodon and their website. I've only just started to read https://bonfirenetworks.org/docs/ and https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols/

See document: https://www.platformaccountability.com/proposal, then scroll to the bottom. It shows some suggested measurements and some objectives for those measurements. Some for within a post/thread and some situated elsewhere TBD. The white paper contains more detail.

So sorry to be commenting without completely reading the specs first. Understood this particular comment period was for 2 weeks, and unsure I could finish and grok the specs in time to have a worthy basis for comment. I couldn't find a reference to the platform accountability document anywhere in the #Fediverse yet (but that be my weakness in search skills here). Wanted to be sure this work was known. Seemed like there were at least overlapping goals in the bonfire measurement goals noted here and the platform accountability goals.
