what a cool article and website

authors do get money from libraries that buy the books. and in some places they even get money depending on how much its checked out.

Clicked on it and the first thing I saw is “women’s bodies were meant for the male gaze”

I’m not a fan of lemmygrad at all but yeah thats wild lol

yeah! You’re right 😭🙂! and I’m so happy to see it.

donations are important too! id like to donate more when I can eventually when I am more stable (in the most general term). one day

yeah thats what I plan on doing! I hope you’re right and I’m just being paranoid. thankfully a lot of other instances are defederating from threads too… hopefully it’ll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe

optimistically, the fact that zuck is even trying to take over the fediverse means he sees it as a threat. we’ve been already doing well enough without their “help” and it scares him

yeah but threads has advertising and corporate money backing it up checkmate library

for real though my greatest fear is that threads devouring the fediverse regardless of how much of a dumpster fire it is

man its real interesting to see vintage stuff like this
