Learn esperanto to fight english cultural dominance in c/libre_culture@lemmy.ml
[–] xarvos@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Esperanto is still eurocentric. That is, it is only easy to learn because you already know English, and perhaps another European language. Lojban or toki pona would be a better option.

Centrists are so balanced, just like the upvote/downvote ratio of this post. It also has 4 comments at the time I wrote this. Screenshot of this post with 4 upvotes and 4 downvotes

Which websites should we link to? in c/books@lemmy.ml

BookWyrm is a secondary source, so I don't think it's a good idea. Personally, I'd link to:

  • The book's website, if there is (which usually just links to amazon)
  • Wikipedia page
  • OpenLibrary

As for where to buy books, I've recently heard of Libreture, which have DRM-free books (see other DRM-free book source), though its database might be lacking because it's rather new.
