If anyone's interested in reading through it with others, we have a book club going for this book right now! It's a fantastic read so far and we just started!

Yeah, but ...hexbear? Ferreal? 🫣

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I understand the hesitancy. Hexbear’s not for everyone. If you were only going to interact with a single corner of Hexbear and ignore the rest, this book club would be a good place to do so. It’ll be low on snark and full of people doing earnest discussion.

Everyone involved in the book club is taking it seriously and we've had great discussions so far without any irony poisoning. You don't need to be a commie or an anarchist to get a lot out of the experience, we just want more people who will earnestly engage with the work.

I might, in all honesty, and thank you. I'll have to go find how thoroughly I've blocked that instance (TIL: my filters are not fully synced between devices), but I appreciate knowing this is out there, at the least.

At first, I had to question why I was seeing a question like this, then I remembered where I was. But if I start talking trash about dbzer0 like this here, my shit's finna get pinched.

1.) Yeah, but it's hexbear.

2.) Use gloves.

The film nights are pretty good too.
