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!
This thread turning out to be quite interesting: I propose open up some sort of megathread where we could collect Libre work recommendations! Im not sure how well lemmy supports this idea but in general the resources on Libre content on the internet are really scarce - this would be a good start.
I definitely agree that this thread is really becoming something. I know I can sticky threads to the top of the community page. Do you propose I start a new thread exclusively for March(book) and February(movie) recommendations and voting that I sticky to the top?
Also, it could be a place where we share general work recommendations too, if you think it’d be appropriate? I know there are some pretty great CC music albums that don’t get a lot of love! What should the tread be called, if we start it?
