If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at [email protected]. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792

If you want to join another bookwyrm instance, then head over to joinbookwyrm.com.

Anyway, it's a great place to find books, share books, and find people with similar interests in books! If there is anything that you feel needs to be improved or changed on the bookwyrm.world instance, then contact me!

I really wish was a Free Software and not a proprietary one!

proprietary / (prəˈpraɪɪtərɪ, -trɪ) / adjective

  1. of, relating to, or belonging to property or proprietors
  2. privately owned and controlled

It's not proprietary. It's non-commercial and opensource.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

No. It's not Open source at all!

From Open source definition: "The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research."

That's the opensource definition by one single entity. They don't own the word, nor does everybody need to take their word as gospel. The OSI are like the church and their priests. They preach a static, never-changing, world that they believe in that doesn't line up with the real world, where opensource is taken advantage of by multi-billion and trillion dollar companies who host competing services without or minimally contributing back.

Anti Commercial-AI license
