It’s got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENSE.md https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENS... I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities! Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).

Well, that's a license I've never seen before! This makes it entirely unpractical for any company to host a server, which is an... interesting approach. I'm not sure why the police or military wouldn't be allowed to host a book reading website, though. I guess this was written as some kind of anti-government protest.
