Started to argue with myself: if the concepts of following people and topics did not mix well, how could fb reach a couple bilion users? I myself silently hope for Bonfire to succeed, even after seeing Friendica, Hubzilla and almost forgotten Diaspora. Maybe it just wasnt done rght in FOSS so far?
Reddit was a fusion of old forums and Digg before it nuked itself.
I never cared for Facebook or Twitter style following people, threads in a topic board feels just more natural.
