What it says on the tin - a comm to request a pirated eBook or audiobook. Audiobooks will get hosted on TankieTube.

Should be a very low intensity comm, just a way of centralising requests for books. I’m happy to moderate it and to manage request fulfillment - I’m pretty resourceful at finding pirated books that aren’t available on the clearnet.

Edit: I’m sure if people get confused about the vision for the comm it’ll be fine - I’ll probably just ping Foucaults to get a good suggestion susie-laugh

    Element information

    Element is a messaging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.

    To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser.

    The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:

    Press “Create Account”

    We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change matrix.org to chapo.chat.

    This is completely optional; users who sign up with a matrix.org username can still talk to people with chapo.chat username.

    (Note: It is chapo.chat, not hexbear.net. Also, registrations aren’t always open on chapo.chat; if they’re not, just create an account on matrix.org)

    Fill in a username and password

    Hit register, and you’re done!
