Yes, that’s what I thought at the beginning: to please both the publisher and the reader!

Today I deleted my Reddit account.
I think the platform is now just a playground for AIs and has integrated lots of ways to make money (prenium subscription, NFT, way too many ads for my taste).
What really made me take the plunge was Reddit's interface. Seriously, go to the website, what's with the attrocity? It's like Fandom but as a social network?
Now why am I on Lemmy? Because in my opinion, it's the first step towards a mainstream Fedivers! Mastodon, Peertube and Pixelfed aren't very widespread, but when you see the number of people active in Lemmy communities, it's really impressive! It's also free and Open Source which is always great, but also as open as possible, I mean, Reddit killed Apollo on iOS, I can now have lots of apps on my iPhone with Lemmy!
Now what do I expect from Lemmy. For this universe of instances to grow, but also to add a bit of personality to the platform! Do a bit of Reddit and add customization options for each community, like on the Minecraft Subreddit of old Reddit that I've always smiled at.
In short, I'm happy to be on Lemmy.
Very interesting 🧐
Yes, we can imagine that each customer has a drawer in which the customer’s books are stored. Now that I think about it, it’s a bit what Netflix was doing at this beginning that I’d like to do, if you know what I mean! There I just want to see if it’s legally possible for fun!
I want to build a way for people to sell their books in my bookshop. From there I scan them and the digital copy is linked to the physical copy. It's as simple as that. I think there should only be comic books and other photography-type books in terms of physical books, whose production costs are absurd and costly for the environment, it has to be said! My aim is to get people to migrate to digital books.
You can't own two copies of the book at the same time: that's the whole point of the concept. Yes, you can make copies of the physical book, but even today that's not very important - the book industry is doing well. What's more, you can imagine a bookshop that offers a two-way street: you like having an e-book but then you find it good enough to buy it in physical form. In that case, you add a few dollars more to get the physical version.
In this case I agree because frankly removing the miniatures is really ugly but what saddens me with this extension is that he insists on paying.
Ok for SponsorBlock but DeArrow… seriously?
If we have that, we have millions of users.

Thank you, I didn’t know!
