Human curation over algorithmic/AI curation any day! Our brains are much more creative 🌱 Pagebound is an anti-AI Goodreads alternative. You can think of our Lists feature like making an OG Spotify playlist for the community—the more niche & unique, the better

We made some posts that caused huge miscommunications about our Special Events and are taking the opportunity to apologize and provide context on our beliefs about the importance of diversity in reading; we have deleted the old post to prevent spreading further misunderstanding

This is something super relevant to all this discussion and I think ppl are not acknowledging it enough. It's a small team (2 ppl), and making the events take time and effort (especially not using AI, which is a priority in my opinion) We can't ask them to do things that
4 special events 4 quarterly readalongs encourages the entire community to participate, and it’s all we can support right now at the size of our community and with our resources (being a 2 person team)
