The "anti-capitalist licence 1.4" is indeed funny:
The User is one of the following: An individual person, laboring for themselves A non-profit organization An educational institution An organization that seeks shared profit for all of its members, and allows non-members to set the cost of their labor
What happens if you are unemployed? Who is going around ensuring compliance and enforcing this licence? I wonder what the earlier versions were like...
Anyway, it is nice to have an alternative to Amazon controlled Goodreads...

@jdaviescoates This looks very interesting. I've been looking for something to manage a UX book club community idea on.
This might be something I could use.
Do you have experience on it?

Does that mean users are not allowed to edit the top post, for some reason?
-
@RoundHouse1924 yes, after a certain amount of time posts get locked (spam prevention, I think)

@jdaviescoates thanks! updated.

@RoundHouse1924 yes, often once they get a 1 or 2 point reputation, they go back and edit the posts to have spam links.

I second this. Would be great to use this as a Goodreads alternative.
