Sorry I wasn't clear with what I meant stating silos. And I'm all for decentralisation, and value the open effort of Bookwyrm.
Silo: the federation aspect, from what I understand of the currently hosted communities using this tech is making the exploration of books contained within each federated host. Maybe I am wrong in which case I will retract my critic. Peertube suffers the same problem. So a constructive comment would be: decentralisation is great, and if the federation design bridges the gap so that information from each node in the system can be searched then that's a rock solid solution as a repository of books information, reviews and discussions.
Please accept my apologise, I certainly came off as negative and the comment I made was not deserved , especially considering the free and open effort there.
