Just wondering, do you guys care about federation in this case or do you just want a goodreads alternative? Because building a global book database is not well suited to decentralization, and there are centralized indie alternatives that are more complete

Yeah. There’s, quite frankly, no real risk of censorship on such a platform to begin with. Kinda takes out the whole point of federation for it
