Disclaimer I was going to post this on ~tildes but thought we could have a more casual conversation about it here.
So how can tildes stop corruption from happening on its platform, it’s no secret that other similar websites have become corrupted the best example of this is Reddit they do what advertisers want them to do or who ever is giving them money, only a couple of days ago I saw this video about a guy who was running a cult on there recruiting vulnerable people and they did nothing because he was buying thousands of awards a day.
Tildes doesn’t have advertising and is a non profit with no investors so those are 2 big places it can’t get corrupted from. One place I could see problems is donations I would be interested in if all donations are Anonymous I should probably have looked into them before writing this but maybe someone else knows the answer, if they aren’t what is stopping big donators getting special treatment?
My main reason for this topic is the video mentioned above but I also thought it would make an interesting discussion on here.

EDIT: This is an old thread that's fallen off many people's feeds. See a current version here.
Top level comments should fill in the blank with some sort of descriptor identifying a kind of book you would like suggestions for. Be as generic or specific as you want.
Replies can then recommend books to that individual.
Examples of what I'm thinking for top level posts, in case my description was unclear:
- Recommend me a book that will make me cry.
- Recommend me a book with a great twist.
- Recommend me a book that deals with loss.
- Recommend me a book about the fall of the Roman Empire.
- Recommend me a book with a main character in her 80s.
- Recommend me a book to help me learn PHP.
