I swear these billionaires could announce they're going to start hunting us for sport and some people would still be out there defending it with they're whole chest like "you're just mad because you can't run fast."
Wir setzen die Segel Wir lichten die Anker, fahren hinaus Wir gehen neue Wege Niemals zurück, immer voraus Die Leinen los Ein Sturm kommt auf Die Leinen los Niemals zurück, immer voraus Die Leinen los

My #Discord account got banned because they are sure I am a minor. They want an official government ID that proofs I am old enough use Discord. They want a picture showing me holding the ID and holding a sheet of paper with my username written down.
People like me who do not want to give their ID to random companies will now not have access to their account, their connections.
Really all universal booklink platforms are a pain in the ass. Either they cost a shitton of money, do only support a specific subset of online stores, are totally US centric or build links to stores in an old URL scheme the store does not support any more. *sigh* I know how this should be to be a good store in just do not have time or skills to do it *sigh*
Another thing I do not get over: there is a great piece of software to compile Your ebook and(!) get the printable PDF fit for different selfpublishing platforms. If you link to another book of you it puts in the link for the store the book was sold on (so amazon for kindle, Apple Books store for Apple and so on). The moment you want to put in the link to another store you can put one generic link - which as to fit for _all other platforms_. >>
>> A reader I have at say smashwords would be routed to the same page as a reader on beam. There would be a UBL great, especially if you use a distributor. But as said in my first post: all UBL platforms are shit.
I wrote a script that takes the round and crestes different versions of it with Links to the store which sre not supported by UBl platforms and the ~200 EUR software.
Some publishing platform offer that they extend your epub with a „by the author“ page and add the links for the store the book is sold in. You have no control how it looks like, which books are advertised and it only works with epub2. Draft2Digital threatens with „nice EPUB3 you have there, what a pitty we can not change anything inside“
The whole selfpublishing industry really has the worst tools. Features by platforms just do not work with a now 14 year old file format. >>
KPD 1950: "Wenn man hier in Westdeutschland jene demokratischen Maßnahmen durchgeführt hätte, die in der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik durchgeführt wurden, nämlich die Bodenreform und die Enteignung der Großkapitalisten, dann würde man mit der Beschaffung von Bauland weniger Sorgen haben."
