Communal Bonfires; creating space for group-scale discourse on top of @matrix
https://blog.erlend.sh/communal-bonfires
Today we're pre-releasing Commune, our first foundational step towards a community platform built specifically for alignment with digital gardens.
Cyber-ecological messaging anyone?!
It's an evolving piece of software serving as the primary bonfire component of the overarching Community OS concept.

•Great to see this, and good blog (am still reading).
The marriage of chat + forum on the characteristics you list is an important one.
Once you have 2 *separate* community channels, say a #Matrix chat and a #Discourse forum, you immediately have a problem. The chat is so low-barrier that important info to be kept longer term ends up there and gets lost in the chat flow history. It requires reminding all the time "Please take this to forum".
A good integration can avoid that.

•Any #matrix network hosts on the #fediverse interested in testing Commune?
https://writing.exchange/@erlend/110712778752844998
Commune is an extension of Matrix to make rooms web-public and threads-enabled. Layered unobtrusively on top of your existing Synapse server; most of the setup can be left up to us.
We’d like to eventually be a plug-and-play extension for any Matrix network, including Matrix.org 🌐
..so as a first step, we wanna work on interop with the smaller #IndieWeb networks as our earliest adopters.

•In [[Flancia]] we'll meet
•very nice, looking forward to trying! This seems to have some potential for convergence/federation with the [[Agora]] project which we are trying to build, would love to discuss opportunities for integration.
The Agora interacts with activitypub through bots currently, the main integration point currently is at the level of digital gardens hosted on git by default.
In [[Flancia]] we'll meet

•@bentsai not quite the same picture, but @blaine sketched out different types of communication mediums are appropriate for different kinds of personas or types of communication.
