https://nlnet.nl/project/Bonfire/ Some thoughts after reading this:

• it spends more time dissing extractive social systems than describing a use case I might build by assembling pieces of Bonfire code. So, still not getting what a use case for Bonfire vs any other dialect of ActivityPub (AP) -- from a user perspective-- might be.
• good point about extractive networks being a "regression toward the payout" wrt content density
• "Switching from closed social networks to the fediverse contributes to privacy and trust, by enabling users to understand and control who sees their data." This seems like an important point. Seems to relate to the Bonfire idea of boundaries as described here: https://bonfirenetworks.org/docs/boundaries/
• one thing I wonder in regard to limiting the reach of an individual post is whether I might be able to choose the extent of environmental impact. Not that I, personally, ever write something that would get a super-bloom of boosts, but should I want to know my particular post won't do that, could the boundaries function be used to limit that by my choice? A use case might be: limit my post to only my instance or only my followers plus one boost only from my followers and no other could boost that post. Is Bonfire protocol (an AP dialect) intended to be different from other AP dialects in providing this specificity?
