    Neema & Cain were fighting for nothing; if it wasn't Neema, other people would still do it & even if she's refused, who knows what'd happened to her? Emperor might be displeased and decided to punish her for being unloyal. Just what kind of energy they trying to pull in here?

    UPvotes vs. DOWNvotes, what their impact? šŸ“ˆšŸ“‰

    Hey everyone! 🄰 I keep seeing the upvotes vs. downvotes questions/doubts come up. Multiple people have asked me about it just in the past couple days, and I’ve seen other Top Contributors jump into similar questions too. So I figured it’s about time we talk about it all in one spot.

    Let’s break down what these little buttons actually do, and why they matter. Let's chat about their impacts in a super gentle way, because we're all here sharing our love for stories. šŸ“–ā¤ļø (I'd be more than grateful if other TCs would help clarify something that I might have missed 🫶)

    First up, upvotes. They’re like little sunbeams, honestly. šŸ˜Ž When you upvote a post or comment, you’re not just giving someone a virtual high-five. You’re actually helping that content get seen by more people. More upvotes mean more eyes on great discussions, amazing book reviews, or those wild recommendations that get everyone excited to read something new. Plus, getting upvoted just feels good. šŸ’— It encourages people to keep sharing, keeps the energy high, and makes the whole PB feel warmer and friendlier. There’s nothing better than seeing a thread light up with hearts and happy comments, right? ✨

    Now, downvotes. This one’s a little more sensitive, but let’s be real. 🄺Sometimes a post just doesn’t fit, or it’s off-topic, and yeah, downvoting is there for a reason and should be used. No judgment here, I swear. Everyone uses PB in their own way. But here’s the deal: downvotes actually drop a comment's visibility fast. PB pushes the comment down, so fewer people see it or join in. And for the person who posted (OP), especially if they’re new or excited to join, it honestly can sting and stir them away from the app. šŸ˜” I get why some people see it as just the opposite of an Instagram like, sort of quiet and invisible. But on Pagebound, it does more than that. It shifts conversations and can affect people more than you might expect. I’m not saying never use it!!! Please understand this!! Sometimes it’s the gentlest way to move past something that doesn’t belong, and if the alternative to that would be leaving a mean or rude comment on that thread instead of giving a contrary opinion or explaining why that other person's contributions doesn't belong there, please be my guest and simply downvote! But it’s worth taking a moment before you click that little down arrow. šŸ”½ I’ve seen a few threads get a little heated lately, and honestly, if a post bugs you, of course a downvote is way softer than saying something harsh. So I'd say, maybe put yourself in the OP's shoes and think if their question is valid and if it opens a discussion that would in fact benefit everyone that comes across it, even if your contribution is to wholeheartedly disagree (in a kind and respectful manner).

    In the end, we’re all here because we love books and see potential in what Jen and Lucy are creating, and this whole place works better when we lift each other up. So use PB in whatever way you feel like (following guidelines, of course), but please try to be nice at all times.

    Big hugs to everyone šŸ’—Please be kind to one another. šŸ“š Pagebound is not another social media, it is a forum to share love for books and respectful discussions. And remember, freedom of speech is crucial, and we should not make others feel afraid to share their opinions on books they love, even if we hate those same books or opinions.

    Now it's late, I'm going to bed, and hope to wake up tomorrow to a thoughtful, rich and respectful discussion here 😬 šŸ«¶šŸ’«

    ETA: PB does not have an algorithm. It rearranges the order of the comments from most upvotes to least.

    As someone who loves frogs 🐸, I love that Mrs. Ribbits has a frog doorknocker. I now know what I must aspire to in life. (Unfortunately cannot change my name to match my love of frogs, alas)

  • Mood Readers and Monthly TBRs

    I'm a mood reader, which is why I still cannot make a dent on my ever growing TBR (I am always on the mood for a re-read).

    However, I want to start having Monthly TBRs as well so that I can hopefully read more books (as that's where the magic lies). Is there any way that help other mood readers keep up with their monthly tbrs?

    I don't want to hate on a book that I read just because I wasn't craving or in the mood for that type of story when I read it.

    Tl;dr: need advice on how a mood reader can follow through on monthly tbrs.
