Does anyone here know of a running Bonfire instance that has federation actually activated?

[lax@tooot.im]

@maikel tried. It's been hell. Advised not to

[osma@mas.to]

Should you find one, I'm curious if it requires use of its own web site or if it supports Mastodon API clients like GoToSocial.

@osma so far no success to be honest. I'm starting to wonder if it's just a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

In this time an age websites overpromising and under delivering are the norm, not the exception

[julian@activitypub.space]

@maikel@vmst.io well, over promising builds hype and it is easier to sell promise than a product.

I only ever post when I have something concrete to show. It means I have less engagement, but it also means I never over promise.

It does not mean I am right. I think the right balance lies somewhere in between.

@julian this is the second time you respond to me about a post with activity pub in it as if I were talking about you and take it personal when I haven't even got a clue what do you do.

Blocked.

Lol can someone tell @maikel@vmst.io to stop taking it personally when I was talking about @mayel@sunbeam.city and @dansup@mastodon.social

The thin skin of people these days.

[osma@mas.to]

TBF it was not clear to me either why you chose to reply the way you did, @julian. I think we can do with a little less negativity about other people's efforts, even if they're not what you'd personally choose to do.
@maikel

[julian@activitypub.space]

@osma@mas.to No negativity at all. In my post I pointed out that while I don't agree with their approaches I don't think mine is right either.

In fact, it was Maikel who called other projects "smoke and mirrors".

[osma@mas.to]

Yes. Anyway, this wasn't anything I called for and I wish I hadn't been pulled into it.

@osma@mas.to fair 😂 have a great rest of your day!
