Hi everyone! I'd love to hear ideas and practices on what a sustainable internet could look like / needs to look like to exist moving forward considering how extractive data centers are, the way hyper-consumerism commodifies and homogenizes culture (amongst many other harmful things), how many platforms are owned and controlled by billionaire interests, etc.

It can be easy to forget how all of these platforms rely on our ecosystem, but what if we used and built them accordingly with that in mind? This includes and implies a decolonization of technology. What if there was a change in our habits and infrastructure to keep us connected in this way but still transform enough to be sustainable, healthy, slower, etc? How would that change and heal our cultures, relationships, languages, attention spans, art, and so on?

Also, apologies if this has been answered before, but what power source does Pagebound use to run?

After 8pm I get maybe 20 pages before I start honking my shoo like I'm posted up in this fit:

Any tips to help me not fall asleep? I try to limit caffeine that late unless I'm chasing a work deadline but even increasing my Kobo's brightness doesn't seem to help :(

Hey, I'm new here and I'm so far loving the app but I'm curious about this counter with upward and downward arrow with each post. Can somebody tell me what this actually is about, like what'sthe purpose of it?

I watched episode 8 of tadc earlier today and it made me decide to check out I have no mouth and I must scream and I was wondering if anything similar happened to you all : o

Does anyone else struggle to find the balance between wanting to keep up with forum posts but also wanting to like… actually read the book? 😭

One of my favourite things about pagebound is getting to engage with the forum for books I’m currently reading. However, as someone with the attention span of a goldfish, I sometimes find myself pausing mid-read to check the forum for posts on specific passages/sections and getting distracted away from the actual book… for the entirety of my allocated reading time 🫣

If you’re a regular poster/commenter, how do you manage to stay engaged with book forums while also prioritising reading?
