The weirdest thing to me about goodreads is Bill Gates actively posting there but only like 10 people interact with his posts

Yeah because he's a boring billionaire. People don't really have a boner to pick with him.

I say this with love, my friend: Bone to pick.

People tend to crowd around those with insane money though

Does Goodreads have like...a community? I thought you just posted reviews and then called other people racist or woke depending on your personal politics.

It's social media for books. You can follow people and there is a feed

Bill gates posts there and nobody pays any attention to him which I find extremely strange

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe because it's "Bill Gates" posting, and probably not Bill Gates ?

No I think it's really him. Bill is obsessed with reading books
