There is No Anti-Memetics Division (QNTM) and Machine Vendetta by Alastair Reynolds, book 3 in The Prefect series set in the Revelation Space universe. It’s pretty good. AR is awesome, RS one of my favorite universes.
You’re right, the angst and drama was too much a reminder of FB when I dropped it in 2020.
On the plus side it’s brought more folks to Lemmy and the niche/local communities can be built here.
Swashbuckler!!!
That sucks. I really miss the niche subs and due to content I still lurk, lemmy hasn’t gotten there yet.
I don’t know bots or backend stuff but been thinking a Reddit reply bot that can be hosted on Lem or elsewhere that allows anyone to use the bot to engage would be cool.
It would still clearly pander to that shit company but damn I really do miss certain communities

What got you banned?

I tore through The Faith of Beasts by JSAC, really loving the new universe they’ve developed. Very much looking forward to rereading TMoG, Livesuit and TFoB very soon and the show being developed.
I’m reading book 4, Children of Strife by Tchaikovsky and enjoying it thoroughly. AT has been my favorite contemporary author for the last few years based on how wide-ranging and prolific he is. I discovered AT by reading The Final Architecture series, which is still my favorite series by him. Honorable mention is his Dogs of War series, also amazing.
Last year I discovered China Mieville by reading Embassytown, the mindfuck storytelling and intelligent prose blew me away. That book still haunts me and twists my brain almost a year after reading it. I’ve never had a book that still makes me think and feel strange months after finishing it. Perdido Street Station was also amazing, super fun and original steampunk world. Very much looking forward reading the next two in that series and digesting more of his catalogue, I think he’s my new favorite.
Also recently read The Prefect by Alaistar Reynolds, set in the Revelation Space universe and it’s also fantastic, really good stuff. Stoked to finish the series.
As far DNF I was surprised I couldn’t push through The Algerbraist by Iain Banks, I got bogged down on Jupiter just couldn’t keep at it.
Who tf gives a frogs fat ass?
Fuck X (Meta and TikTok), anyone who’s still on any of these platform can fuck off anyway.
