    Hey so thanks for this. Helped me find some actual good books. All I had to do was put in the things that I actually liked.

    You know, it’s actually kinda wild how much published stuff caters to only a few average points in society and disregards the rest.

    Did you know that some people actually commercially publish omegv novels? I had no idea but it’s like christmas!

    I really like storygraph. Every year or so I check on their progress for an api. It’s on their long term roadmap and I’ll be a happy person when it comes to fruition.

      Only problem with Storygraph is that it’s privately owned, just like Goodreads was. So as soon as Storygraph gets popular enough, it’ll just get sold (probably to Amazon) and then you’ll have to find another haven and start over once again. At least Bookwyrm is federated, like Lemmy.

    Last month I had an unusual charge on my credit card, saying “audible”. I don’t have an audible account, neither does my wife (she used to have one but even then it was charged through Google play, not directly to the card). I checked all of our emails and even checked both our Amazon accounts (don’t remember why exactly I got clued to checking Amazon), but nothing there matched with anything we had purchased. So I notified my bank, replaced my card an all that.

    One week goes by and suddenly my wife’s Amazon account is nuked. Most of the books she bought for her kindle, lost. Her outstanding purchases, no info on them anymore. She can’t copy the books that are still on the kindle anymore either. Her author profile was also gone, along with any small profit she made from the couple people who bought her stories.

    We tried to contact Amazon to figure out what happened, but got no response. Then we used a local website that is used to complain about services and wrote there everything that happened. Amazon replied saying that her old account had been disabled and then she tried to log in with the same email again and that created a new account which caused the old one to be deleted forever so now they had no info on why her account had been disabled (which is complete bullshit). Amazon also notified the website that the issue had been resolved by that response, preventing us from sending any additional message.

    Are you gonna pay for loss of revenue or virtue signaling is enough for you?
