addabook @addabook.bsky.social · 01/05/2026What a way to kill the joy. Not everyone has the same opinions about books, and that's ok! But replies like this - especially in an online forum instead of a live discussion - can feel very dismissive and discouraging. 120
addabook @addabook.bsky.social · 01/05/2026That's why we don't have comment threads at Addabook. We want to provide a space to be introspective. When people are able to share what resonated with them, instead of worrying about what an external audience might think, they're able to share more freely. 120

And if those notes strike a chord with someone else, great! But it's not the reason you're writing. 130
