[Edit: We are 11 people interested so far!]

Anyone interested? It's very long in total (could be like 2k pages) and people probably dont read it linearly, but I figured it'd be cool to take up on it:)

So far, I'vs finished reading Section A and has been very informative. I've tried to keep notes of it in .md format here:

https://codeberg.org/BlastboomStrice/book-notes/src/branch/main/AFAQ-Summary.md

If this fails, maybe we could pick other smaller books, but me personally might not be able to participate (already reading afaq and another book).

Yooo hello fxomt

I thibk it'd made sense to start from the beginning. Section A also seems very important part of the faq:)

Anyone who has advanced could participate I guess on discussions about previous parts or wait or make a new group if there are enough people (kinda doubt there will be enough people)

Afaq is so long that almost surely some will be behind and others will ahead of others, so dunno how it will go😅

    I mean I think for AFAQ in particular it's fine if someone jumps in the middle. As a FAQ, it's written with the understanding that people will read it in pieces.

    True

    Hmm, what if we just do a weekly post about afaq and people can discuss their progress and thoughts without making the post specific to the section each member of the community reads (each user will just mention it in the comments).

    It could be like afaq group reading week #1234

    I mean this might be selfish but for me personally, it would be nice to have some amount of structure and "peer pressure" to get the reading done. Like "okay here's the part of the FAQ we're on today", and if someone else wants to talk about some other part that's cool too, but you know.. sometimes. it's nice to do things as a group 😃.

    sounds good to me :) How would the reading group be organized tho? i mean on which platform so we could actually share

    Hmm maybe here like hexbear does?

    Edit: rereading this I'd like to say that we ended up using both this post on lemmy and the /0 anarchism room on matrix to organise it:)

    good idea, should we make a new community on dbzer0 for reading theory, or tracking it in this comm?

    For those who aren't aware of how Hexbear does stuff: reading groups are weekly/monthly/whatever Lemmy threads where whoever runs the group pings everyone in one of the comments. So basically once a week/months/whatever, you'd see a thread about AFAQ, and if you want you can sign up to get pinged.
