Hey everyone, I had a bit of an interesting idea recently. We should have our own Libre Culture Lemmy Book and/or Film Club! The rules are quite simple.
Any content we choose to discuss must be either in the public domain or must have a license that’s approved for free cultural works.
Every three months, we vote on a new film or novel to read, or a collection of short stories that are about the length of a novel combined. Other media could be allowed as well. Downvoting suggestions isn’t allowed, unless the suggested content is inappropriate.
I can’t wait to see how this’ll go! Please let me know what you guys think of this idea, and let’s begin voting in this comment section what we’d like to watch/read in March!
What frequency would you prefer?
I think it depends on content type. A movie maybe biweekly? For a book something longer would be nice: maybe 3 months in that case. This could be adjusted as we go for sure. I’d also like to propose to focus on newer content as classic public domain has been explored quite a bit and focusing on newer content could help us to carve ourselves a niche and kinda prioritize Libre culture idea.
Your proposal sounds good to me! Though a bi weekly movie sounds a bit too frequent for me, but then again it could just be me. Maybe a movie once a month?
Could do discussion on a couple chapters and have more frequent meeting for books too.
