Dumb drama. Defederating over one community not allowing them to control the narrative.

That’s my point.

I honestly don’t think this sort of drama is a big deal. The users are empowered to do something about it, unlike centralized platforms, where drama gets a result like we see on reddit: nothing happens.

I don’t really know what hardcore punk is. I like the Dicks, are they considered hardcore?

I don’t really know what the dev’s roadmap is, but I do think that reccomendations shouldn’t even be a part of the instance beyond recommendations from your “community” or people who you follow. I think it should be a seperate service/website that imports your goodreads/bookwyrm data and algorithms it while serving ads(meaning their revenue will come from publishers/authors). It can then push recommendations over to your bookwyrm home instance with activitypub. Otherwise each instance will need the data from every other instance just to give you recommendations based on what other people like you enjoyed. It also allows the service to be easily replaced once it starts to go to shit, since there’s not a single “this is the recommendation engine”.

We ask open ended questions just to assess your general response. If we want other information, we’ll ask more focused questions. There isn’t a right answer and we get paid by the hour so you’re not wasting our time.
