Hey Solarpunk people! We are a small community of readers, writers, and activists that is dedicated to exploring Solarpunk and adjacent literature. Every week, we discuss one chapter of a book that we choose together. So far, we have read four books, including most recently The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. If you want to join our book club just in time to pick our next read, please swing by. We’d be happy to have more people to share thoughts and insights with!

We take it pretty leisurely, we've mostly done a chapter a week, sometimes two. We found that there's always enough to discuss if you go deep enough on a given topic.

On iOS I’m very happy with Memmy, I was on Apollo before and it feels similar design-wise.

Yes, user-wise this won’t really negatively impact Reddit this is why I called it penny pinching, they weren’t losing out on huge amounts of money with the 3rd party apps. What I was mostly referring to is that moderators are frequently power users who either used 3rd party apps personally or used them because the moderator tools inside of them were way better than Reddit's native ones.

It’s ridiculous to me that there are still people volunteering to moderate, Reddit had such a good deal with running mostly on free labor that is satisfied with some scraps here and there.

And what do they do? Turn the people who are sustaining their business and ask for nothing in return hostile towards them over some penny pinching.
