Good effort on trying to represent your country’s perspective but it’s not holding up to scrutiny.

You came over here bro. Pathetic behaviour.

If they tied a bookwyrm comments section to an ISBN number for example then anybody/site could easily have it embedded to make it a universal tool rather than specifically connected to a piracy site.

I think the early access model has worked so far, (meaning Rowling and her lawyers have allowed it to happen). I suspect if the money being made exceeds a certain amount they’ll probably sue Patreon or something. Unless patreon’s terrible business decisions cause it to collapse first lol.

5 years ago all authors dared to do was to publish another book and advertise it using their fanfiction. Occasionally they’d ask for Kofi too.

Rowling already stopped a certain wiki site (which she admitted to using herself lol!) from publishing a kind of encyclopaedic book on the world of Harry Potter iirc. Though it could be argued that they were just reusing content which is the closest thing to plagiarism but not plagiarism.

I’m envisioning Bookwyrm behaving as a comments section for anna’s archive (possibly all/any decentralised book repositary), but they’d be reviews instead. I’m reminded of discus or facebook that you often get embedded on certain sites.

Well, you’re not claiming to the arbiter of truth here are you? Hence you have a bias, and as a layman I’d benefit from knowing it.

I appreciate the answer regardless.

(I edited my comment apparently shortly after you replied btw).

What would you have them read to remedy this?

And to take a current event as a litmus test since I don’t know you or your bias, do you condemn Israel’s racism, zionist ideology and their war crimes etc?

lemm.ee is the opposite (doesn’t defed from them) and pretty liberal-minded for anybody looking for that.

Is literature.cafe defederated with them?

Seems unlikely they’d do that, perhaps the angle you took might have triggered them. They tend to know their history and cite well, and get lied about a lot, so they’re suspicious of people who might get details wrong and probably take them for trolls.

Obviously I can’t fairly judge what you wrote but you are at the very least not left wing right?

Grayjay from Louis Rossman’s company is really good - you can even log in with youtube etc. It looks amazing. It looks like a Tachiyomi for Video and Livestreaming!!! You can add other sources.

Dumbledore thought Harry was a Horcrux mate, he was avoiding him since the start of the year.

This is all sounding a bit insular. I’m happy with the tech stuff but let’s not turn the entire site into a discussion about a specific app or two.
