@ccamara@bonfire.cim.warwick.ac.uk Also, I do not see you as a member of the group...
@misha@bonfire.opentech-auc.org this might be related to this: github.com/bonfire-networks/... ?
Can you confirm on the issue if this is your case, too?

UX & Design
@misha@bonfire.opentech-auc.org I didn't see that listed on the topic UX & Design (which on my server is empty - see github.com/bonfire-networks/..., not sure if these two issues are related).
I got here because you linked it on your post in the general group. (and actually, the link drove me to your instance)
@misha@bonfire.opentech-auc.org Oh, mystery solved! Neither of us were subscribed to those topics, and hence we were not seeing the posts. After subscribing to this topic and retrieving remote posts, I can see your post being listed in the channel and in the group's main section.

Test: does this show?

This call for papers on critical #AI studies may be of your interest
@mdione@en.osm.town so sorry to read about this, Marcos. This probably won't solve anything, but you're not alone there. Your situation made me think of this post ky.fyi/posts/ai-burnout and more broadly, to this other one, that collates a number of concerns at tech: baldurbjarnason.com/2026/05-...
@mdione@en.osm.town I've you are looking for some job that does not use #AI, you may find this repository that collates software that is explicitly rejecting #AI particularly useful: https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index
Admittedly, most of them may not be hiring/paying, but hopefully is a starting point?
PS: Will I use these tools? I don't know. Friends tell me they're now required in interviews, and I don't see a big market for #NoAI people :((( If these things were made in some other way, I would probably use them. But their current implementation are just making our world worse.
TL;DR: I think we dug our own graves. And I'm open to work.

Happy to share one of my last #academic paper, published on New Media & Society and authored with Nate Tkacz (@nate@mstdn.social) and Fangzhou Zhang about our #research on #twittermigration #Xodus that will be relevant to #Fediverse and #AlternativeSocialMedia

Any know of any ISP on the newly opened OFNL network with decent support for IPv6 (i.e. they do proper routable prefix delegation), IPv4 without CGNAT, and reasonable upstream bandwidth?
Asking for a friend who is into self-hosting. (The friend is me)
Last Friday and Saturday, there have been 92 coordinated protests against #datacenters used for #AI across the UK, Spain, Germany, Finland, Poland, Austria, Croatia, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Belgium.
You can read more about their motivations and who are supporting them here: stopdirtydatacentres.eu/
Our blog was quiet for over half a year, but we're back, and you get three blog posts for the price of one: pinned messages, Liquid Glass on iOS, in-app updates for the Android APK, decentralized onboarding across community relays, and a first look at what's coming next, including the end of unencrypted email, and the reasoning behind it.

Federation & Interop
Also, it looks like this post isn't visible locally within the group, or under this channel tag?
But it seems to have federated.
@deadsuperhero@fedizen.net and based on your screenshot, I can see the same issue on my instance: members' list is not federated either. Will need to create another GH issue when I have time.

@deadsuperhero@fedizen.net uhm I see it here

@ccamara@bonfire.cim.warwick.ac.uk Howdy from Fedizen, our Bonfire community instance! 👋
@deadsuperhero@fedizen.net pleased to meet you and your bonfire instance!
Should work out fine, I host email addresses for a few of my own domains at mailbox. Follow the setup guide carefully, email domains are finicky to get right.
@philippos @chrisoliver @pluralistic
@osma@mas.to @philippos@digitalcourage.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr @chrisoliver@indieweb.social I'd like to quit, but I feel trapped. I do not know how to retrieve all the encrypted emails, + I've shared my pm.me email so if I moved to the free version I would not receive such emails + would be of of space. I know now I should have had my email with my domain, but it's too late now. Any advice?

After all the public backlash, the Proton CTO’s AI manifesto was published to Protons’s blog (presumably it was scheduled in advance, but still):
“The first is a change in engineering culture and engineer mentality. Your job has fundamentally changed. It is no longer to write code, and LLMs are not here to help you write better code faster. Your job is to help the LLM write better code faster.”
He literally wants his engineers to be reverse centaurs. @pluralistic
RE: https://indieweb.social/@chrisoliver/117527288349910415
#Proton CEO Andy canceled the #AI re-interviews for employees after getting exposed, gave employees a non-apology that was basically “I’m sorry you didn’t understand what I said,” and made zero commitments to change his behavior or his foolish AI push.
If you’re a Proton subscriber, tell the Proton Foundation board know how you feel about this: foundation@proton.me
