Both are confusing. Let’s use colours instead:

Red = hot, wear shorts and a t shirt

Blue = cold, grab a jacket

Pretty intuitive without any prior knowledge.

Instead of “because lemmy”, I’d say reddit now charges money for the content, but they did not pay the creator.

The thing about comment chains is you can collapse them so don’t see anything wrong. Let people have their fun and sense of connection with strangers on the internet.

I am on GR but don’t rely on it much, just to keep track of read books, and a wishlist.

I used it to pick the best rated Daniel Silva book and was disappointed as o didn’t like it. I’d agree that reviews on GR ale not reliable, most people have different taste. What’s most annoying is how most reviews there start by summarizing the book which inflates the bloat you have to go through before you get to the review.

I only just checked out bookwyrm now, but i can’t find the book I’m currently reading there (the poet by Michael Connelly). It doesn’t look like it has as much content.

Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham.

I found the first part (the boys) very boring, and unnecessarily detailed. I could have skipped it without consequence. But the rest of the book was pretty good and enjoyable.

• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
• The Boys from Biloxi

Michael Connelly:

• The black box
• The concrete blonde
• The last Coyote

I am open for recommendations

Ebooks. Kindle has a nice display showing how much is left in the chapter. It has a warm light back light, and i can take multiple books with me on a trip (i have some unfinished books).

I can put down the kindle without losing the page, or having to bookmark it. And i can sideload the books for free.

Physical books are tempting too as i can get them free at a library and very cheap second hand, but i know i would still prefer to read it on kindle where i can choose the font size I like.

Reddit used to be like that too, but those people gravitate to the community eventually. I think best we can do is recognize the behaviour early and down vote it on sight.

You can’t have one without the other, unless you want to drive your car and expect everyone else to take a bus.
