Unlike many other large subreddits r/books has not made any statements about the API changes. I did try and post something about it but it ended up getting deleted. At 22.1 million users this would be a pretty significant addition to the protest.
Does anyone know why there hasn’t been anything official?
I agree. A few subs I’m in (was in?) asked members if they should go dark and went with the general consensus which was yes. I think that’s a better way to go about it if the mods can’t decide. Willful ignorance seems an odd choice
Yeah I agree. Apparently they have ended up turning off posting and comments but not going fully private which is a bit odd.
