I didn’t say that. I said why pick Discord from the myriad of other solutions?

What’s wrong with a tried and tested open forum? Hell, a lemmy server or even subreddit would suffice.

I mean, don’t use walled gardens as your primary community base in the first place right? This is a ‘solution’ to a problem that doesn’t need to exist.

Anything that helps bookwyrm grow its knowledge library of books (missing a LOT of books that goodreads has) is a good idea. I fear however that combining anything which points people to where to pirate the book might not help the popularity/reputation of bookwyrm as a good OS alt to goodreads.
