i ask because Bonfire is a free libre open source project proposing a federated social media approach^q^and it seems cool... but i can't join the pilot program since i'm not in a school or such organization.

Idk what's already in use though so this is a joint shoutout and a question. Like, what way do you use to chat about nerdy stuff rn? Does this Bonfire.social project fill a niche you're missing alot in?

The science community used to be very active on Twitter. Now a significant portion of it has migrated to BlueSky. I’m an ecologist, but I don’t use social media much personally, and not at all professionally. I have a Mastodon server, and I still think that platform has a lot going for it.
