+
+This is a mailing list-based book club co-organised by myself and [Jake
+Bauer.][jb] We intend to follow much of [how Phil Eaton runs his book
+clubs,][pebc] albeit with slight tweaks.
+
+[jb]: https://paritybit.ca
+[pebc]: https://notes.eatonphil.com/2025-05-30-how-i-run-book-clubs.html
+
+- Anyone can join whether or not they intend to participate; lurkers are
+  welcome!
+- We'll read some amount of the current book each week, then a discussion leader
+  will start a new thread over the weekend that anyone can reply to.
+- Each book gets a new mailing list, so briefly dropping out if you're not
+  interested in the next book is as easy as not subscribing to that list.
+- Once the group decides on the next book, Amolith or Jake will post it to the
+  announcements list.
+- We'll try to limit the amount of reading each week to something a fairly busy
+  person can keep up with.
+
+## Joining
+
+- Subscribe to the low-volume announcement list by sending an email to
+  [~amolith/book-club-announce+subscribe@lists.sr.ht.][ann-compat] No human will
+  see the email, so the body and subject can contain anything.
+  - Replace `+subscribe` with `+unsubscribe` to unsubscribe.
+- If you intend to participate, please read over SourceHut's [mailing list
+  etiquette][mle] page, then subscribe to the book's list (below) the same way
+  as the announcement list.
+  - [~amolith/book-club-how-to-do-nothing+subscribe@lists.sr.ht][first-compat]  
+    We'll try to keep this up-to-date.

+## Differences between this and Phil's book club
+
+We use [lists.sr.ht] instead of Google Groups, which does give us access to the
+finer permissions Phil mentioned were missing from Google Groups. Anyone can
+browse and reply to existing threads but neither create new threads nor
+moderate. Discussion leaders can browse, reply, and create threads, but not
+moderate. For now, Amolith and Jake are the only ones with full access to all
+the lists, though we'll appoint additional moderators should they become
+necessary.
+
+[lists.sr.ht]: https://lists.sr.ht
+
+We don't have access to any kind of metrics beyond the number of replies to
+threads. SourceHut doesn't expose _any_ information about subscribers or even
+give us a subscriber count.
