Just chatting with Ivan about a thing and posting this to test something.

💥 👋 We’re looking for volunteers to help us with some user research. We’re particularly interested in hearing from a diverse range of people who may be interested in using Bonfire in a personal or professional capacity .

You do not need any particular technical knowledge, skills, or prior experience of Bonfire. The user research interviews will be carried out in English by Dynamic Skillset ( @dajb )

here the full blog post: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/user_research/

Small thing, but in dark mode it would help if there was a border around the compose window (see screenshots for example of difference after I manually added one)

@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback

ah interesting, nested replies in reverse cronological order (newer first) may confuse the discussion...
In this screenshot, my "agree" comment was directed to @mayel first comment (see the date time), while instead in this visualisation seems referred to @lne comment (that was more recent than my reply)

@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
