    I saw another comment on PieFed raise the same point of confusing again, so I think it’s worth addressing, where the user squirrel said: “I see Bonfire mentioned a lot on the fediverse report and elsewhere, but I still don’t understand what it is. I went to their website and it’s a wall of text that sounds like marketing. I don’t see a demo or a flagship instance.”

    Oh shit… I’m in the report 😳

    This was the best explanation to date I have seen of what Bonfire actually is. I still think that the ratio of marketing speak to features/users is way too high for me to get excited about it yet. I wish them all the luck and hope for the platform’s continued improvement though.
