I’ve been a part of various book clubs in the past, mostly in person and few on Discord. One thing that really turned me off in virtual ones was how people would post while reading, sometimes creating small spoilers for others. I always wished for a way to mark spoilers to avoid ruining surprises. Is this something you’d consider adding?
Thanks a bunch for the suggestion! I’ve run into the same issue in online book clubs, so it's something that I'll definitely add in the upcoming version!
we solved that problem by having two groups or rooms. the main group where we nominate books and manage the whole process as well as general chat, and one group for spoilers.
especially on discord grouping rooms into categories is easy. if you don't have a whole server for the bookclub because it is part of something larger you could still have a category and in there multiple groups. even a spoiler group per book if needed.
There's also some effective ways to use Threads for this if you are confined to one channel, especially on Discord where Threads hang tied to their channel and get useful names where the names can be things like books.
On Discord you can also experiment with making your "one channel" a Discussion Forum channel instead and then everything is discoverable threads. Some of the busier Discords that will only give you "one channel" for your group will often be amenable to letting that one channel be a Forum channel.
