discussion and recommendations.
but now it's mostly shit, like anything that is remotely social media. crazy power users and bad faith actors are all over the place.
I stopped using it a few years ago because people who harass me based on my reviews, esp if it was a critical review of a popular book.
I read that in 2012 a bunch of authors (names included Anne Rice, Kiera Cass and Carroll Bryant) made this website called Stop the Goodreads Bullies, a harassment site disguised as an anti-bullying campaign. Goodreads failure to protect its users/ bowing down to them by changing its policy to say that reviews about author's behaviour was off-topic caused people to migrate to booklikes. Were you part of that migration?
