What do you think of r/books silence on the API changes?

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?

Angleslam,

They would be up in arms about books getting banned but 3rd party apps not so much it seems.

jordanlund,

My general feeling is that the only reason to delete a thread is if it's spam or somehow offensive to site wide rules against violence, racism, etc.

Deleting a thread because you don't like it or it's inconvenient is a mark of cowardace and cowards have no business being mods.

Hhffggshn,

I'm weaning myself off of reddit, regardless of what the sub mods do. Glad to find a books community here.

There was a post with 28k upvotes a few days ago that mods chose to ignore. I'd take that to mean they'll be ignoring the API changes altogether.
