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

MODERATORS
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.
I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Seems like a group of readers are best equipped to step away from the internet. Even just for 2 days.
Should be the case shouldn't it? I guess if they mods won't go dark individuals can just stop going on Reddit. I haven't completely cut the cord yet but I did remove the app from my phone and replaced it with Jerboa.
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.
Ah I missed that. The silence is an ~interesting~ choice.
they sold out
Can't sell out if you are not being paid. I guess they just don't care, which is fine, if a little disappointing.
I dunno if it counts as selling out when they previously haven't had a stance on it, but it is disappointing.
At the end of the day, the only ones who can choose to make the subreddit private are the mods, and I don't think they've given any public statements on it either way. It may simply be that the mods aren't unified on whether or not to join.
I am super glad there is book community here , truly. Is too bad the subreddit is not making a stand but oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They've not taken the sub private but they have now put up a post supporting the protest and turning off all posting and commented. A bit half hearted maybe but better than nothing.
