I find goodreads sucks at book recommendations, but excluding the books that some random twitter replacement didnt read doesnt seem like its going to make it good at book recommendations either.
Goodreads however remains fun for keeping me accountable with my reading goals, and nothing else has replaced that.
DCC - Yeah this isnt great. Yeah the litrpg genre was infested from the beginning with 20booksto50K people, and then LLM people.
If it's only for tracking books you really liked, it's not a Good Reads replacement.

That doesnt really make sense. If you are on twitter you are in the "community" but applying this methodology to twitter is unlikely to be a good recommendation engine for the twitter community either.
The platform Craig Mod built looks like the equivalent of getting book recommendations exclusively from your mutual follows on Twitter.
This link is more informative. https://craigmod.com/roden/102/#the-good-place Craig Mod is an interesting example of someone who makes a living online through "ethical" content production.

What do you mean? "Communities" on social media platforms vary, common behavioral traits that the platform may engender not withstanding. The platform Craig Mod built looks like the equivalent of getting book recommendations exclusively from your mutual follows on Twitter.
If you want a non-corporate alternative to Goodreads, there's a Fediverse one, BookWyrm: https://bookwyrm.social/ (I don't know how many people are using BookWyrm, but Goodreads itself seems half-abandoned. Maybe most of the publisher attention is on TikTok influencing now?)
