From the responses in this thread, it seems like OP is either a fed, or, much more likely, extremely inexperienced and naive when it comes to Opsec. At the very least, they are putting themselves at risk. Is it still advisable to leave this post up?

Glad to see this initiative. A genuine question: isn't this redundant with Annas Archive?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

annas archive doesnt have fast downloads for free users - downloads take around a good 30 mins for a decently sized books

bookracy aims to fix this issue

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Thx for clarifying! I usually don't notice that bc I always use the external downloads. It would be rly cool to see bookracy in the external downloads of Annas Archives then!

also pls keep your humour, it's funny to see the libs get mad bc they see a "Russian Federation" tag
