I’ve tried bookwyrm and hardcover and a few others. In general I think they’re getting there, but there’s weird edge cases where it’s not as smooth an experience. Partly because they don’t have a critical mass of users, partly because Goodreads really was in a pretty decent place when it effectively froze.
All that’s going to improve over time, but atm, for me, switching costs from the old platform aren’t worth it.
One medical is actually a pretty good service and it’s fucked up that Amazon bought them
See also: every other service Amazon has bought.
I miss when Goodreads had updates.
Bookwyrm is a Fediverse alternative to Goodreads. :)
